The deals were signed by the Iranian and Kuwaiti ministers and senior officials following a meeting between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and the visiting Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah.

During the meeting, the two sides reviewed ways to expand bilateral ties and cooperation between the two countries.

The two heads of states also attended the signing ceremony of documents and collaboration.

The agreements included the memoranda of understanding on diverse issues including transportation, customs, security, and tourism.

The Kuwaiti ruler, heading a high-ranking delegation, is in Tehran for an official visit to hold talks with senior Iranian authorities.

The emir’s trip to the Islamic Republic is his first since he became the ruler of Kuwait in 2006.

He is the second Arab ruler in the six-member Persian Gulf Cooperation Council to travel to Iran this year. The first was Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said of Oman.

Kuwaiti ministers for foreign affairs, finance, oil and trade accompany the emir during the two-day visit.
