Baghdad : Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has voiced his country’s willingness to end the dossier of missing Kuwaitis since the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
Zebari was speaking during a meeting Tuesday with Genadi Tarasov, the UN coordinator on the issue of Kuwaitis missing in Iraq, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said.
During the meeting, they mulled over possible concrete steps that could lead to an end to this issue in the UN Security Council, it said.
The minister reiterated the “Iraqi government’s sincere desire to work with Kuwait in full transparency and with sincere intentions in order to end such an issue on the basis that the issue of missing Kuwaitis and lost properties are bearing on humanitarian aspects from which both peoples suffered and were equally victims of the former regime.”
He noted that Iraqi agencies involved were cooperating with the UN coordinator over practical proposals to notch up tangible progress in this respect.
Tarasov is in Baghdad at the invitation of the Iraqi government to thrash out the dossier of the Kuwaitis missing in Iraq.
Tarasov was appointed by the UN Security Council last April.
