Kuwait has agreed to export Iraqi oil from its ports, according to a senior official. These are the first relations since Saddam invaded Kuwait and occupied it for seven months until it was liberated in the 1991 Gulf War.
The state-owned Kuwait News Agency quoted Issa al-Aoun, the undersecretary of the Energy Ministry, as saying Kuwaiti oil officials and a visiting delegation of their Iraqi peers have formed a team to study the technical requirements needed for transporting Iraqi oil to Kuwait, including pipelines and pumping stations.
Al-Aoun said new piers will be built for the project. He did not provide any dates.
