UN envoy .. Iraq recognized Kuwait's borders soon




    Agencies -
    He said a special envoy to the UN that the Iraqi government may soon recognize Kuwait's borders and end two decades of sanctions imposed by the international organization after the mystery of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's southern neighbor in 1990.

    Despite Saddam's ouster in 2003 did not raise the UN in full sanctions imposed after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, which led to the Gulf War led by the United States in 1991.

    The UN Security Council adopted in December, the decisions to start dismantling the sanctions and urged Baghdad to normalize ties with Kuwait.

    Iraq still needs to be re-confirmed the Kuwait border land and sea in a letter to the Security Council. And requested the Baghdad from Kuwait to address the concerns regarding access to the port of Umm Qasr.

    Said Ad Melkert, UN special envoy "It's up to the parties to decide when and how we at the United Nations strongly support this process and encourage them as well, including the submission of proposals and I think we are now very close to completion."

    Melkert pointed to a "historic" between the foreign ministers of the two countries late last month said he was leaving due to "very positive".

    "All these issues were discussed ... and I think that there is justification for a feeling of confidence."

    Beyond the question of the border there are other issues relating to archives of Kuwait and the people missing. Iraq still owes Kuwait for damages worth more than $ 20 billion and needs to pay 5 percent of oil revenues for the settlement of compensation, most of Kuwait.

    He said Melkert - a former Dutch Cabinet minister - that Kuwait has offered the use of funds in investments in Iraq, which could lead to more interaction between the two countries in the near future
