Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah had an important meeting on the margins of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The meeting, which was held in New York, emphasized the need of sustaining regional stability and settling lingering concerns between Iraq and Kuwait particularly the Khor Abdullah waterway.

The highest court in Iraq ruled earlier in September that the agreement’s ratification statute, which governs navigation in the Khor Abdullah waterway, is illegal.

Earlier today, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the United States pushed Iraq and Kuwait to finish drawing their maritime borders.

Additionally, Al-Sudani underlined Iraq’s steadfast dedication to maintaining the pertinent Security Council decisions, respecting the fundamentals of international law, and fostering neighborly relationships during their meeting. Iraq’s pledge to uphold the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the State of Kuwait was particularly significant.

They also talked on how to improve their mutual understanding and broaden their cooperation in fields including commerce, energy, and security.
