Kuwait Rejects Joint University Project With Iran

Kuwait’s Higher Education Minister Bader Al Eisa has denied reports that he had asked Iran to set up a joint university.

“The reports published by some media are baseless and lack credibility,” the minister said. “The meeting with the Iranian minister of science, research and technology Mohammad Farhadi did not refer at all to such a plan, and was part of the deliberations that delegations participating at the Unesco conference hold with one another on the sidelines,” Al Eisa said from France where he is making a working visit.

The Iranian news agency Irna reported that the Kuwaiti minister of higher education had called for setting up a joint university with Iran on Friday.

“The Kuwaiti minister was speaking during a meeting with Iranian Minister of Science, Research and Technology Mohammad Farhadi on the sidelines of the 38th session of Unesco’s General Conference under way in Paris,” the news agency said.
