The State of Qatar announces its full solidarity with the sisterly State of Kuwait, affirming that it is following the coordinates lists and map submitted by the sisterly Republic of Iraq to the United Nations, which infringe upon the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait over its maritime areas and its fixed and stable maritime elevations in relation to the Republic of Iraq, such as Fasht Al Qaid and Fasht Al Aij.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses the State of Qatar’s stance supporting the State of Kuwait’s full sovereignty over its maritime zones and maritime elevations. In this context, the Ministry also voices its hope that the rules and principles of international law, and what is stipulated in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982, will be taken into consideration, in accordance with the understandings, agreements, and memoranda of understanding between Kuwait and Iraq.
