Kuwait Emir’s Tehran Trip to Mark ‘New Page’ in Ties, Iran Says - Bloomberg:



"Kuwait’s ruler will travel to Tehran in two weeks, the Iranian foreign ministry said today, signaling a further thaw between the Persian Gulf country and Gulf Cooperation Council states.



Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah’s will visit Iran on May 31-June 1 at the invitation of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham told reporters in Tehran today. The visit will mark “a new page” in relations between Kuwait and Iran, she said. It will be the first time Sheikh Sabah visits Iran since becoming Kuwait’s emir in 2006, the state-run Iranian Students News Agency said.



Rouhani, who was inaugurated in August, has called for more engagement with all nations, in particular regional neighbors. The Kuwaiti emir’s trip to Iran comes on the heels of a May 13 announcement that Saudi Arabia has invited Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to visit."
