The two countries will cooperate on the entire range of the peaceful use of atomic energy, in particular, in designing, developing and building a nuclear power plant, as well as in nuclear medicine and the nuclear fuel cycle, the memorandum said.

"We in Russia are developing the atomic energy sector on a wide scale and we welcome Kuwait's plans to develop it, too," Sergei Kiriyenko, head of the Rosatom state-controlled nuclear corporation, said.

Rosatom sees good prospects for cooperation with Kuwait, he added.
