Kuwaiti Prime Minister Ahmed Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah called on Iraq to take concrete measures to address all outstanding files between the two countries.
Al-Sabah said in his speech at the Gulf-European summit in Brussels, that “at the forefront of these files, the delineation of the maritime borders beyond point 162 in accordance with international laws and conventions, and the completion of the file of prisoners, missing persons and Kuwaiti property, including the National Archives within the scope of follow-up of the United Nations, and in particular the Security Council.”
Al-Sabah urged “Iraq to abide by bilateral agreements related to the security and technical aspects of the navigation corridor in Khor Abdullah, which are agreements that would enhance the concept of preserving the environment, regulating navigation, combating terrorism and illegal trade in weapons, drugs and human beings,” stressing “the importance of continuing dialogue based on understanding and mutual respect between the two brotherly countries.”
He pointed out that “based on the belief in the principle of good neighborliness, Kuwait was keen to help Iraq to advance itself through close work aimed at restoring its status and regional status in order to achieve the hopes of its brotherly people.”
Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein announced on October 3 the imminent resumption of Iraqi-Kuwaiti negotiations to solve outstanding problems between the two countries, referring to “Iraq’s real desire to reach understandings to resolve existing differences.”
