He stated that “we hope these difficult conditions will punish certain people so that they reconsider their mistakes and improve their performance based on human relations.”

Touching upon the cooperation of the countries of the region in fight against the coronavirus, he noted that the Islamic Republic has gained good experiences in dealing with the disease and Tehran is ready to transfer its experiences to friendly countries, including Kuwait.

The President said that Iran is still ready for collective cooperation to ensure security and stability in the region and the world, as well as to fight the coronavirus in today’s sensitive situation.

“We expect the friendly country of Kuwait to take a stance on regional issues as well as the wrong behaviour of the United States,” asserted Rouhani.

He described the ties between Iran and Kuwait as fraternal and friendly reiterating that Tehran is interested in friendlier relations and is ready to develop cooperation.

The President also congratulated the government and people of Kuwait on the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan.
