JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Georgy Borisenko and the Ambassador of Kuwait to Russia Rashed Hammad Al-Adwani held a meeting to discuss resolving disputes in the Persian Gulf region.

"Both sides stressed the need to resolve existing disputes in the region through political and diplomatic means, and by taking into account the interests of all countries in the region," said a statement from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Friday, July 24.

Borisenko and Al-Awdani highlighted the importance of mediation efforts to immediately resume negotiations based on the memorandum of understanding signed by the United States and Iran on June 17.

In addition, the diplomats discussed cooperation in the fields of trade, economy, as well as culture and humanity between Russia and Kuwait.

The US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 to end the conflict that began on February 28.

However, the US military has launched several attacks on Iran since July 8. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that the attack was a response to Iran's actions against commercial vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian military also retaliated by launching attacks on US bases in the Middle East. Iran also accused the US of violating the ceasefire agreement.

US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire was no longer in effect.
