KUWAIT CITY, June 15: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the agreement reached on a Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran, describing it as an important step toward reducing tensions, enhancing regional stability and ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement issued on Monday, the ministry said the agreement, which includes provisions for an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations and addresses some outstanding issues, reflects a constructive move toward the peaceful resolution of disputes.

Kuwait praised the efforts of Pakistan, Qatar and other friendly and brotherly countries in helping bridge differences and create conditions for reaching the understanding.
