Boroujerdi welcomed the idea for Arab-Iranian talks, and underlined that such dialogues could be designed, started and strengthened on the basis of the two sides’ commonalities.
For his part, the head of the Arab Transitional Parliament and chairman of the Kuwaiti parliament’s Foreign Policy Commission named Iran as a country with an ancient history and a several-thousand-year-old culture.
Noting Iran’s significant standing and role in the strategic region of the Middle-East as well as the two countries’ commonly shared interests, he said security could be established in the region in light of continued exchange of views among regional countries, specially Iran and Kuwait, and voiced his country’s readiness to render closer cooperation and enhanced coordination with the Islamic Republic in the said ground.
