TEHRAN – Iranian Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali Jannati, who is visiting Kuwait, says that the two countries have made significant progress in the cultural arena over the past few years.
Jannati made the remarks during a meeting he had with several cultural officials and university scholars of Kuwait, the Persian service of IRNA reported on Wednesday.
“Bilateral ties have developed over the past decade, especially after the visit of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah to Iran (June 2014),” he said.
