KUWAIT: The re-election of the United States President Barack Obama raises the chances for Kuwait and Iraq to end pending issues between them and reinforce their bilateral relations, a senior Iraqi official said yesterday.
“US President Barack Obama’s win for a second term increases the chances for improving the Kuwait-Iraq relations since he adopts an approach that is based on mediation and convergence between conflicting countries in the region,” said official spokesman of the Iraqi Government Ali Al-Dabagh, adding that the re-election will help “promote efforts to end pending issues between the two countries as they move forward to remove UN Chapter VII sanctions from Iraq.” Al-Dabagh further indicated that his government is “looking forward to the visit of Kuwait’s Prime Minister HH Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak” to Baghdad.
He said he hoped that the talks during the visit would lead towards resolution of issues such as “the compensations and prisoners of war”. “The Iraq-Kuwait relations should be put on the right track because tensions must not continue
