Deputy FM meets Iraq envoy to Kuwait

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Majdi Al-Dhafiri met Wednesday Iraq’s Ambassador to Kuwait Al-Manhal Al-Safi, and they discussed bilateral ties between both countries. The two sides tackled the latest remarks of an Iraqi Parliament Member, regarding claims of attacking Iraqi

Fishermen.

Al-Dhafiri expressed the rejection and resentment of Kuwait regarding those remarks that do not reflect the deep-ties between both countries, and do not meet the principles of good neighborliness.

Al-Dhafiri refuted such allegations and highly trusted the integrity of the procedures followed by the Kuwaiti Coast Guard forces.

He praised the continuous cooperation between the Kuwaiti Coast Guard Force and the Iraqi Naval Forces in dealing with the violations of Iraqi fishermen of sailing into Kuwaiti territorial waters. (KUNA)
