Warned the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq of the consequences of the Kuwaiti government to continue to build the port of Mubarak in a clear indication of the return of the crisis between the two countries which began to escalate by the day because of this port.
Mutlaq said that Iraq would never allow besieged Basra province and the stifling Iraq, calling on the Kuwaiti government to retreat from the construction of the port of Mubarak, stressing that Iraq has a border with the Kuwaitis and to warn of the wrath of Halim as he put it.
Al-Mutlaq's remarks were made at a conference held by the Ministry of Transportation in Baghdad on Wednesday to discuss the problems left by the construction of a port on Kuwait's Mubarak Iraqi ports.
Al-Mutlaq, warned of the consequences of the differences between Iraq and Kuwait to build the port on the back of Mubarak and Aneksat on the entire region, calling on the international community to the need to reconsider its decisions that were issued against Iraq under the former regime, which he said were unfair.
For his part, Iraqi Transport Minister Hadi al-Amiri Mubarak said the construction of a port is a real threat to Iraq, reiterated his call for the Kuwaiti government to reconsider the site chosen for construction.
He Ameri said Kuwaitis had been told the Iraqi government that they will build a port on the Kuwaiti territory, but the fact shows the opposite through their fill some 1800 meters from the waters of the Gulf between Iraq and Kuwait, noting that efforts Kuwaiti confirm their intention to impede navigation in the waterway, which links Iraqi ports in the Gulf.
