BAGHDAD, March 13 (KUNA) -- The Iraqi government announced on Tuesday a
decision entitling Kuwaitis owning real property in Iraq to have access to
their land.
The decision is conditional on an equal treatment for Iraqi owners of
property in Kuwait, Spokesman of the Iraqi Government Ali Al-Dabbagh said here
in a press release, of which KUNA received a copy.
A Kuwaiti committee set up by the Amir Decree No. 26 for 2011, decided that
the Kuwaiti landowners in Iraq have the right to transact in their property
provided that there is no legal ban.
The committee recognized, in the minutes of its meeting on March 6, 2012,
the principle of equal treatment, the statement noted.
Today's decision allows exchanging documents of individuals through the
diplomatic channels and endorsing them by the concerned departments of the two
countries, it added. (end)
