IRNA � The recent visit to Tehran by the Kuwaiti foreign minister aimed to convey the message of the country�s Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, says foreign ministry spokesman.

Bahram Qasemi made the remarks during a press conference on Monday, refuting comments that the trip by Foreign Minister, Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah, aimed at presenting a message from some Persian Gulf littoral states to Iran in a bid to mediate.

�Contrary to reports by some media, the trip by the Kuwaiti foreign minister was not aimed at mediation,� Qasemi said.

�Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah was carrying a message from the Kuwaiti Emir for President Hassan Rouhani and the trip, from the outset, was within the framework of bilateral ties between the two nations.�

The trip aimed at promoting talks, understanding and consultation between Iran and Kuwait, he said.

�On the agenda were also topics, including international issues,� he added.

In general, the trip by the Kuwaiti officials tended to benefit both sides, the spokesman said.

Iran is going to respond at an appropirate time to the message by Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.
