Kuwait recalls Iranian ambassador and hands him a protest note over statement issued by his embassy

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by Ambassador Hamad Al-Mushaan, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, summoned Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Toutounji today, Wednesday, and handed him a note of protest regarding the statement issued by the Iranian Embassy, which contained blatant interference in Kuwait’s internal affairs and undermined its sovereignty and the independence of its judicial authority, in clear violation of international laws and norms.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs reiterated Kuwait’s strong rejection and condemnation of any interference in judicial rulings issued by its national courts, emphasizing the necessity for the Iranian side to comply with international law and the United Nations Charter, particularly the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of states, as well as the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
