Iraqi Government Resumed Paying Compensations To Kuwait Relating To The 1990 Invasion

Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah said Wednesday the Iraqi government resumed paying compensations to Kuwait relating to the 1990 invasion. Iraq started, a month ago, paying the instalments of the compensations agreed with Kuwait under auspices of the United Nations Compensation Commission, he said.

The payments will continue until 2021, Al-Jarallah told reporters this evening during a reception held by the Indian Embassy in Kuwait to celebrate the Republic Day of India. On the property of Kuwaiti citizens in Iraq, he said contacts are underway with the Iraqi authorities to enable the Kuwaitis restore these property.

Iraq was forced to stop paying the installments of the compensations to Kuwait in 2014 due to the security challenges that added strains on the state budget. Al-Jarallah lauded as responsive the approach of the Iranian authorities to Kuwait’s demand for releasing Faleh Al-Azmi, a Kuwaiti national detained in Iran. “During my meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Kuwait Dr Ali Reza Enayati yesterday, I felt responsive attitude towards solving this issue as early as possible,” Al-Jarallah said on Wednesday.

“Ambassador Enayati affirmed that the Iranian authorities are serious in addressing this issue,” he told reporters this evening during a reception held by Indian Embassy in Kuwait to celebrate the Republic Day of India. The Kuwaiti citizen was arrested last September for entering into a prohibited area in Iran by mistake while coming from Turkey
