Iraq premier in Kuwait to boost ties (AFP) 16 February 2011 KUWAIT CITY — Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki arrived in Kuwait Wednesday for a one-day official visit expected to focus on boosting economic and political ties between the two Arab neighbours. Maliki is due to meet with Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah and hold official talks with his counterpart Sheikh Nasser Mohammad al-Ahmad al-Sabah. Ahead of the visit Kuwait’s State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Rudhan al-Rudhan said talks will discuss ways of boosting “economic and trade ties and other issues of concern between the two countries.” The visit is Maliki’s first to Kuwait after his re-election to the post and after a Kuwaiti premier ground-breaking trip to Baghdad in January, the first by a Kuwaiti premier since the Iraqi troops invaded the emirate in 1990. The two Arab nations still have a number of outstanding issues related to the Iraqi occupation to resolve including multi-billion-dollar war reparations, debt and demarcation of land and maritime borders. Iraq still owes Kuwait more than $20 billion in compensation for Saddam Hussein’s invasion of the emirate and Baghdad has repeatedly called for a solution to this issue. Kuwait has also demanded the return of its stolen property and remains of hundreds of citizens who went missing during the Iraqi occupation. Iraqi premier seeks to repair relations with Kuwait By ASSOCIATED PRESS 02/16/2011 12:09 BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister sought to repair ties with Kuwait during a visit Wednesday to the nation that Iraq invaded under Saddam Hussein. Iraq still owes Kuwait about $21 billion in compensation for individuals, companies and organizations that incurred losses during the 1990 invasion and subsequent Gulf War. The neighboring nations are also working to resolve a dispute over their border. State-run Iraqiya TV announced Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's arrival in Kuwait but gave few details on the visit, which a spokesman said would last a day. The UN set Iraq's Saddam-era debt to Kuwait at $52 billion, and Iraq has so far paid off $31 billion from its oil revenues.

According to Reuters, the firm’s director, Idrees al-Yassiri, said the plan included drilling more than 15 wells at the Nassiriya oilfield, which would help boost output from the field by 50,000-60,000 bpd. “Our plan for 2011 is ambitious. We have enough energy to accomplish it … The increase in production through the national effort will be more than 200,000 bpd through 2011,” he said in a news conference. The national effort includes drilling new wells in oilfields Iraq is developing on its own, including some of its giant fields like Nassiriya and East Baghdad. Yassiri said the Iraqi Drilling Company would also drill wells for oilfields being developed by global oil companies. “We will drill 23 wells for ENI at the Zubair oilfield and 20 wells for ExxonMobil in West Qurna (Phase One),” he said, adding the company will drill 15 wells as part of a consortium in Majnoon oilfield, which is being developed by Royal Dutch Shell. “Drilling operations for foreign companies will add close to 150,000 barrels per day in 2011,” Yassiri said. The company has also submitted a bid for a tender to drill 23 wells in West Qurna (Phase Two), which is being developed by Russia’s LUKOIL, Yassiri said, adding the development plan for the field included drilling 75 wells in the next two years.

Bane glad to know of Follower of Yeshuah that have the wisdom to understand the need for Jews and gentiles to form the body of Christ that indeed Israel (Jews) are the natural branch and the "christian church" need to follow our Sheperd back to the original flock And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. (Joh 10:16 ESV)

the 10 dinars pic i saw from another site same design as 10,000 dinars only different color but they remove the posting already

indeed a roller coaster ride for me it was like yesterday when the speculation abt RV in Dec 2009 then nothing happen ... roller coaster plunge down then march 2010 the election push it way up high up with allawi .. down with maliki .. up with Iraqi ... down with kurds... then finally Nov 2010 maliki PM.. GOI form?? yes no yes no then talk abt RV before end of 2010 and 2010 is past another downward ride .... must have strong heart for this journey Pray all will be settled in 2 weeks time

my question is if u are iraq eg. you are holding on to 100 billions worth of USD and u are going to RV tomorrow meaning the 1 billion of USD u are holding will worth 1000 times less why wont u sell off all your USD before u RV your IQD

Hi any one ever wonder about this if u are iraq and u want to RV with current value US$1 ~ IQD 1170 if i am going to RV tomorrow - today I will surely get rid of all US$/ foreign currency and get back IQD because come tomorrow this currency will drop in value drastically - after tommorow lets say RV US$1 = IQD 1 then i change my IQD to foreign currency Is this not the logical path? are we seeing IRAQ dumping foreign currencies??
