Iraq and Kuwait will bridge the gap
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Iraq and Kuwait have announced a plan to settle the dispute between them on their water borders in order to end the tanking that has been going on for years.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein announced this step after the visit of his Kuwaiti counterpart Cheikh Salem Al-Sabah to the country last Sunday.
It was the United Nations that divided the borders of the two countries in 1993, three years after the end of Iraq's occupation of neighboring Kuwait. However, since this time, there has been disagreement between the two countries where Iraq feels that it has been wronged in the Gulf region, which is very important for its oil production.
According to the plan, the two countries should set up a committee that will study how to draw the maritime powers, and will submit the work papers he made to the judicial authorities on the 14th of August.
