Iran, Kuwait pledge cooperation during rare PM visit

Iran and Kuwait pledged to boost economic cooperation during the first visit to Tehran by a prime minister from the Gulf Arab US ally in more than 30 years, Iranian state media said on Saturday.

In a possible reference to the disputed Arash gas field in the Gulf, Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi and Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah called for "cooperation in connection to the resolution of the continental shelf issue," state broadcaster IRIB said.
