KUWAIT: Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah met his UK counterpart James Cleverly on Wednesday to discuss ways to enhance bilateral ties.
During the meeting, the two officials reviewed the latest regional and global political developments.
They highlighted the importance of joint dialogue to complete the demarcation of maritime borders between Iraq and Kuwait beyond Mark 162, stressing the need for any resolution to abide by international law.
Al-Sabah and Cleverly also discussed the Palestinian issue, including repeated Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites, as well Israel’s systematic violations against the Palestinian people.
The two sides condemned the repeated burning of copies of the Qur’an in Sweden and Denmark.
Cleverly began a three-day tour to the Middle East on Tuesday to boost ties with the region.
The trip — to Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan — comes after the UK government announced that citizens of Gulf countries and Jordan will benefit from a new electronic travel authorization visa scheme.
