Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki arrived today on an official visit to Kuwait. He will meet with Kuwaiti King Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Ilna news agency reported.
Following his one-day visit to Kuwait, the minister will head to Saudi Arabia.
The sides will discuss the Hajj and the problems Iranian pilgrims face while making pilgrimage. Riyadh recently asked Iran not to politicize the issue.
The minister will also discuss the fate of Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri, who went missing in Saudi Arabia last month, Ilna said.
Iran claims that U.S intelligence services kidnapped the scientist during his Umrah pilgrimage.
