Sep 20, 2023
New York [US], September 20: Kuwait's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Salem Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah denounced in the strongest terms a recent Iraqi federal court ruling over the issue of Khor Abdullah, over which Kuwait and Iraq signed a 2012 agreement to regulate maritime navigation. Speaking to KUNA late Monday on the sidelines of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Sheikh Salem said the Iraqi decision is based on ahistorical claims, affirming that he had reflected Kuwait's stance on the issue during his meetings with GCC foreign ministers.
