TABNAK, Sep, 10: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kana’ani condemned some articles mentioned in the final statement of the 161st PGCC ministerial meeting in Riyadh, calling them repetitive, non-constructive, and fruitless.
Kan'ani pointed out that the article related to the three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf as absolutely rejected, emphasizing that the trio islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb are an integral and eternal part of the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran considers any comment regarding the residential development of the trio islands, the travel of national and military officials to them, and the staging of military exercises on its territorial borders, as interference in the sovereign affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran and condemns it, he added.
He also rejected Kuwait's unilateral claim about Arash Gas Field mentioned in the statement, saying, "Issuing repeated statements and making unilateral claims has no legal value and does not prove any right for the Kuwaiti side."
The only logical and productive solution regarding the Arash field is a return to the table of technical and legal negotiations and bilateral dialogue in order to reach a stable agreement based on good neighborliness and respect for common interests, he emphasized.
