Kuwait has appreciated the Memorandum of Understanding reached between the US and Iran, while commending Pakistan and Qatar’s efforts in reaching the agreement.

The agreement “stipulates an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations, ensures freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and addresses a number of issues,” Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on X.

The statement added that Pakistan, Qatar and other “brotherly and friendly countries” contributed to “bridging viewpoints and creating the conditions” for reaching the “important understanding”.

“The Ministry calls on all parties to engage in the forthcoming negotiations with a positive and constructive spirit, in a manner that supports efforts aimed at enhancing cooperation, consolidating stability, and achieving prosperity for the peoples of the region and the world,” the statement said.
