| Iraq Hopes to Restore Diplomatic Ties with Kuwait |
| 2004-07-27 |
| BEIRUT (Reuters) - Iraq's prime minister said on Monday he would work to restore diplomatic ties with Kuwait during a visit this week to the tiny neighbor Saddam Hussein invaded in 1990. "During this trip we will go to Kuwait and discuss the issue of resuming diplomatic ties," Iyad Allawi, due in Kuwait on July 31, told a news conference after meeting his Lebanese counterpart in Beirut. "We don't see any setback or any problem between Iraq and Kuwait in the future." Iraq has yet to restore diplomatic relations with its Gulf Arab neighbor, which U.S. troops and their allies used as a springboard for their invasion of Iraq last year, and is still required to pay it war reparations. But Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government has said it wants to pursue friendly ties with its neighbors and Allawi is leading an Iraqi delegation on a regional tour that has so far taken him to Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. |
