He noted that Iran is ready to broaden economic cooperation with Kuwait and exchange views with the senior Kuwaiti officials on ways to enhance the level of ties on mutual interests.
"The Iranian government is keen on developing ties with the neighboring states and Kuwait, in particular, as there is no obstacle in the way of bolstering economic cooperation," he added.
Tayyebnia welcomed Kuwait's investment in Iran's tourism industry, and said, "Iran welcomes investments of Kuwait in other fields as well."
The Kuwaiti prime minister, for his part, voiced firm determination for the expansion of cooperation and the removal of the existing obstacles.
