Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah attending the Palestinian Embassy function to mark the independence declaration
KUWAIT, Nov 20 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah said Monday Iraqi President Fuad Masum and Kuwaiti leaders were in consensus regarding a host of important files.
Kuwait succeeded in settling outstanding files with Iraq, and few issues remain to be addressed, "and Kuwait and Iraq are capable of overcoming and settle them," Al-Jarallah told reporters on sidelines of a reception held by the Palestinian Embassy to mark the independence declaration.
Asked about Kuwait's agenda during its membership in the UN Security Council, to starts next January, Al-Jarallah said Kuwait was representing the Arab countries and "will be keen on highlighting Arab countries' issues."
He said that on top of these issues would be terrorism, humanitarian action of Kuwait and how to solve conflicts via peaceful means.
Al-Jarallah noted that Arab foreign ministers, meeting in Cairo yesterday, condemned Hezbollah's interference in Arab countries.
He said the Arab world was suffering from attempts undermining its security and stability. (end)
