Kuwaiti and Iraqi officials to meet over suspended issues
Erbil, A lawmaker said officials from the Iraqi and Kuwaiti foreign ministries are expected to discuss some suspended issues March 27.
Shwan Mohammed Taha, told AKnews the meeting was arranged by the Iraqi parliament delegation to Kuwait.
A delegation comprising 27 lawmakers, headed by Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama Nujaifi, left for Kuwait Saturday and returned home late Monday night.
Taha said the delegation met with the top Kuwaiti officials and set the stage for the foreign ministries meeting next Sunday. Officials from related ministries are also expected to attend the session.
Kuwait and Iraq still have several issues some of which date back to the former Iraqi regime, under Saddam Hussein. Border demarcations, common petroleum wells, detainees in Kuwait, the suspended credits of Kuwait due from Iraq are among the unsettled issues.
The lawmaker said earlier that the Iraqi delegation has won the approval of King of Kuwait for issuance of an amnesty general for 57 Iraqi detainees in Kuwait. These were arrested for various charges such as trespassing the Kuwaiti borders.
Citing to AKnews, Farhad Amin Atrushi, another member in the Iraqi delegation to the neighboring country, said the top officials from the country all agreed that the suspended issues with Iraq need to be settled.
