Rouhani to visit Oman and Kuwait tomorrow - media

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will visit Oman and Kuwait tomorrow in his first visit to the Gulf Arab states since taking power in 2013, state media reported.

Rouhani will leave Tehran for Muscat on Wednesday to meet Oman's Sultan Qaboos, Rouhani's deputy chief of staff for communications, Parviz Esmaeili, said.

Rouhani will depart on the same day to Kuwait on invitation of Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, PressTV reports.

Kuwait's foreign minister paid an official visit to Tehran late in January to deliver a message to Rouhani on a "basis of dialogue" between Gulf Arab states and arch-rival Iran.

Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in January 2016 cut diplomatic relations with Iran and some other Gulf states recalled their ambassadors in solidarity with the oil-rich kingdom after its embassy in Iran was torched by protesters.
