TEHRAN, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that his country is ready to share its nuclear technology with neighboring countries, according to his official website.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to provide regional states with its valuable experience and achievements in the field of peaceful nuclear energy as a source of clean energy and a proper replacement for oil," Ahmadinejad was quoted as telling visiting Kuwaiti envoy Mohammad Dhaifullah Sharar.
The Iranian president welcomed a decision made by leaders at a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit held in Riyadh last weekend to establish nuclear power plants, the website said.
For his part, Sharar said that enhanced exchange of views and cooperation between Kuwait and Iran would serve the interests of all regional states.
Leaders of six Gulf Arab states announced last Sunday that their countries would jointly develop peaceful nuclear technology and draw up a plan for the purpose.
The GCC groups Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
