BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Speaker of the Iraqi parliament Usama al-Nujaifi discussed on Sunday with Kuwaiti Ambassador in Baghdad bilateral relations and ways of bringing Iraq out of the UN Chapter VII.

 

“Al-Nujaifi received Kuwaiti Ambassador Ali Mohammad al-Muamen, with whom he discussed ways of improving bilateral relations and bringing Iraq out of Chapter VII,” said a statement from al-Nujaifi’s office received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

 

Iraq lies for the last 22 years under UN Security Council's Chapter VII, as a country "threatens international peace and security".

 

Iraqi assets abroad were frozen to compensate Kuwait and other claimers of being affected of Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

 

Kuwait demands knowing the fate of 600 Kuwaiti citizens lost during the war, but only 236 were found.
