Blatant Iranian Interference in Kuwait's Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by Deputy Foreign Minister Ambassador Hamad Al-Mushaan, summoned the Iranian Ambassador to Kuwait, Mohammad Toutounji, yesterday, where he was handed a note of protest regarding a statement issued by Iran’s embassy in Kuwait, which contained blatant interference in Kuwait’s internal affairs and infringed upon its sovereignty and the independence of its judicial authority, in clear violation of international laws and norms. Reaffirming Kuwait’s strong rejection and condemnation of any interference in judicial rulings issued by its national courts, the Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized the necessity for the Iranian side to comply with international law, the UN 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.
