ERBIL,
Kurdistan-Iraq, May 16, -- Into more detail, the
figure said "Kuwaitis could invest in Kurdistan
right now and in Iraq once the security situation
improves to help in reconstruction in fields
including tourism, agriculture, oil and gas, and
many other sectors.
"We look forward to the best of relations with
Kuwait, and the Gulf states in general, and I
believe we laid the foundation for such a relation
between our two nations during our visit," the
figure added.
On the security situation in Iraq, Barzani said
"This issue came up in our discussions with the Amir
and Kuwaiti officials and we sensed sympathy and
willingness to lend a helping hand wherever
possible." |

The Kurdistan President also commented on his
meeting with Parliament Speaker Jasem Al-Kharafi. He
said "We have met Speaker Al-Kharafi and saw a
well-known and decent gentleman and extended an
invitation.
He in turn extended an invitation for a visit by a
Kurdistan parliament delegation and such a visit
would be arranged soon, God Willing."
On the nature of relations between the two people,
Barzani said "The people of Kurdistan and of Kuwait
have sipped from the same cup of suffering on the
hands of the former regime and so they understand
best each other's sentiments.
"We have always held the Kuwaiti people dear as an
aware, enlightened, and democratic people that put
democracy in practice since the state won
independence.
Kuwaitis have also proved their mettle, regardless
of all their diversity and differences, during the
Saddam aggression on their homeland and stood as one
behind their Amir, and this is why and the means by
which The Almighty brought them victory and
liberation."
He further stressed "We shall remain the Kuwaiti
people's allies and stand together in support of a
federal democratic Iraq where there is no room for
aggression or dictatorship, and we shall work on
healing the wounds left by the occupation. This is
our strategy."
