BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The Kuwaiti government has announced on Wednesday its intention to build the Mubarak Port “till the end,” whilst Kuwaiti diplomatic sources said that the port’s project had been settled politically and won’t be discussed with the Iraqi side in the next meeting of the High Kuwaiti-Iraqi Committee, scheduled to convene in Baghdad after the month of Ramadan, according to the Kuwaiti al-Siyasa newspaper.
Al-Siyasa, in its Wednesday issue, has quoted the Official Spokesman for the Kuwaiti government and the State Minister for the Kuwaiti Council of Ministers, Ali Al-Rashid, as saying that “the Kuwaiti government is marching forward, without stop, to build the Mubarak Port’s project ‘till the end,’ denying that explosions have taken place close to the Port 10 days ago.
On the other hand, the Kuwaiti newspaper quoted high-level Kuwaiti diplomatic sources in the Foreign Ministry as saying that “the Grand Mubarak Port has been settled politically and won’t be discussed by the Iraqi side, during the next meeting of the High Kuwaiti-Iraqi Committee, scheduled to be held in Baghdad after the month of Ramadan.”
It pointed out that “the schedule of the Committee’s works shall include dossiers that were not settled till now, including the maintenance of the border signs, the restoration of the remains of the prisoners-of-war (POWs) and the issue of the compensations.”
The same sources pointed out that “the Iraqi delegation that shall visit Kuwait soon, according to an announcement by Iraq’s Foreign Minister, Hoshiar Zibary, shall discuss some technical matters, related to the Port, without discussing Kuwait’s right in building a port on its territories and within its territorial waters.”
As regards to the UN Security Council’s Resolution 833, the said sources stressed that the “Resolution confirms cooperation between Kuwait and Iraq, regarding the safe passage through Khor-Abdullah and the sea navigation freedom, on basis of which the Iraqi Delegation for Cooperation & Coordination would be received, and not to discuss Kuwait’s constant right in the construction of the Port, works for which are continuing well.”
Kuwait had announced on April 6th last the beginning of works to construct the Mubarak Port after one year of Iraq’s announcement of its intention to build its Grand Faw Port, whilst the Kuwaiti Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs and the Development Minister, Ahmed al-Fahad, had stated that the project, construction of which was agreed upon with the South-Korean Hondai Company, would be “friendly to environment.”
The Kuwaiti Ministry also confirmed that the project “includes major goals to achieve hopes and ambitions of the Kuwaiti people, who have always wished to build a port in the said strategic and active location, in order to make Kuwait a financial and trade center on both Regional and International levels.”
Noteworthy is that Iraq’s Transport Ministry had laid down the foundation stone for the Grand Faw Port’s project, designs of which point out to its compromise of a containers terminal stretching to 39 km and a pavement extending to 2,000 km, as well as a square container with an area of more than one million square meters, along with a field of multi-purpose area of 600,000 square meters, with a capacity of 99 million tons annually.

He Khalidi, in a press statement yesterday if we can not achieve something, we will resort to the United Nations and the United States as the main partner of Iraq and should be protect the external borders of Iraq and ask them to intervene.
He stressed that the file of the port did not enter the history of political, because no one can accept the attacks of State, whether in Kuwait or Iran or Turkey or Saudi Arabia.
He explained that Kuwait began to establish the dams along the coast is the second phase of the port, they say that it does not affect, but the evidence indicates negative impact heavily on navigation in the territorial waters and Iraqi, and we are moving through committees in order to stop it.
and Khalidi Kuwait behaving that wants to maintain its interests, but they put the interests of her brothers, especially that Iraq is now not Iraq before 2003 and must deal with it positively.
However, the legal expert Tareq Harb called on Iraq to sue UN Security Council instead of Kuwait, as the agency that issued the decision in 1993 to take many of the views of Iraq on the Persian Gulf which has contributed in helping the Kuwaiti side of building Port Mubarak.
He says the war in his statement for the "long" yesterday, "The origin of the issue lies in the internationalization of the Iraqi file, Kuwait since 1990 according to resolution 660, an extension of up to resolution 833 of 1993 on the demarcation of the Iraq-Kuwait border, which was adopted by the Security Council on Kuwaiti documents without Iraq, "a reference cause to the" non-participation of the former regime in the negotiations between the two sides because of the recklessness of the leaders of the regime and that made Iraq is losing a lot of regions that have acceded to Kuwait. "
He continued war, "according to the decision to have included Kuwait as well as overlooking the western Persian Gulf part of the panoramic Northern Iraq, which lose a large part of the panoramic view of the Gulf, Kuwait has exploited in building the port of Mubarak. " Thus, the war confirms the Iraq fighting with the UN Security Council to reverse this decision or infamous, so he can then push for the abolition of the draft port of Mubarak.
In spite of this, questioning the legal expert in Iraq's ability to resort to this behavior, and shows that "the UN Security Council members sympathetic to a degree large with Kuwait and even the United States are also inclined at the expense of Iraq, "adding" on Iraq to make every effort to in order to gain permanent members of the Security Council and perhaps the visit of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's recent visit to China came from this section, "relying on the security agreement between Washington and Baghdad, according to war, "it commits the United States to end all disputes between Iraq and Kuwait before the withdrawal, although it did not happen until the moment something on the ground."
The Iraqi militant group active in southern Iraq earlier threatened workers at the Port Mubarak to carry out armed operations against them and port the event continue to create, but the deputy for the Iraqi List led by Iyad Allawi confirmed earlier that the threats made by certain parties to hit the port of Kuwait and the operating companies which will create a new crisis between the two countries, noting that the list of Iraq against these actions.
The unit Jumaili The threats issued some of the parties, whether political or armed militias are all unacceptable, noting that Iraq today towards building a state of institutions and not a state of armed militias. It added that he can through political dialogues and through diplomatic solution to the confusion even though he hurt the Iraqi economy and Iraqi naval navigation. She noted that the trend to armed action in deterring the State of Kuwait is valid and might aggravate the situation between the Iraqi-Kuwaiti relations salinity that can be used to the Arab League and the United Nations.
confirmed that the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry, the middle of this month, the port project Mubarak will be implemented on the territory of Kuwait has nothing to do one by , as pointed out that this project will serve the vital economic and all countries of the region, including Iraq. U.S. Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kuwait Mohammed Al Roumi said in an interview for a number of journalists on the sidelines of his participation in the ceremony hosted by the French Embassy in Kuwait on the occasion of National Day The Port Project Mubarak held on the territory of Kuwait, nothing to do with one of the subject, noting that this project is the economic and bio does not serve Kuwait only , but all the countries of the region, including Iraq and some countries of Central Asia.
The turkey that the Persian Gulf need to port a number, it is oil countries and manages active trade, pointing out that the ports of Kuwait affecting the region since ancient times.
warn surveyors that Project Kuwait, the judge construction of the port of Mubarak Al-Kabir near the Iraqi ports near the sea, the project provocative and designed to stifle Iraqi ports, narrow sea area in front of Maritime Navigation. "

Business Wire - [7/25/2011]
With the summer holidays just beginning and airports now bustling with holidaying families destined for flights to Spain. However some tourists are now looking beyond traditional vacations with their sights set on some surprising new holiday destinations.
Estonia saw the biggest rise in interest compared to summer 2010, with a 54% increase in flight searches on the Skyscanner site. Tallinn’s status as this year’s European Capital of Culture, which includes a programme of events and exhibitions, has led to increased publicity and evidently attracted many more British tourists.
Madagascar followed closely behind with a 48% rise in flight searches, possibly a result of the recent BBC documentary series showcasing the diverse beauty of this island.
Iraq, for years only synonymous with war, appears to be carving a niche for tourism too. Since the last US troops pulled out last summer, there’s been a 37% rise in interest from UK travellers. In an attempt to bring back tourists, millions of pounds have been invested in Iraq’s tourism infrastructure, with 700 new hotels planned to open by 2014. Despite the FCO still advising against all but essential travel to most places in Iraq, there has been the inevitable interest from intrepid travellers keen to explore somewhere that so few others dare to tread.
Bosnia and Herzegovina was in fourth place, with interest in the city of Sarajevo growing by 36%. The bullet-scarred but beautiful hillside city was named by the Lonely Planet named as the 43rd best city in the world to visit in 2010, which has doubtless helped raise its profile.
Cape Verde, an archipelago of 10 islands off the coast of West Africa is also growing in popularity, with interest rising by 33% year on year.
Sam Baldwin, Skyscanner Travel Editor commented:
“It’s great to see lesser-known spots receive well-deserved interest and Skyscanner’s data may be indicative of a growing trend to visit places off the beaten track.
“While the numbers searching for flights to Iraq are still small, it will be interesting to see how tourism grows there in the coming months.”

If the availability of elements to promote their development
Translated by Iraqdirectory.com - [7/25/2011]
An economist that the budget of the province of Basra, which has almost $ 2 billion could be referred to refineries and cities developed world when there are elements to promote their development and included the independence of the investment decision and the efficiency of management performance. Is the security factor the biggest challenge in the block implementation of investment projects in the country, while this is achieved working out in the capital, find it quite stable in the southern provinces.
According to this vision, we had a dialogue with the economic expert Hassan al-Asadi presenting this text from the experience of dialogue on the province of Kurdistan as a safe and how to utilize them, especially in the parts that enjoy the stability of security of the country.
The economic expert Hassan al-Asadi has a different perspective when he said that Basra more stable by the security of Kurdistan, so why not catch up with economic development achieved in Kurdistan?
In this regard Al- Asadi said: Personally, I see stability in the South was more than a percentage of Kurdistan, because of labor politics in the region still have not settled infinite ended with this labor in the South, and then wondered where the imbalance in the present time?.
The answer is about the questioning by saying that the imbalance in the political decision, as the Kurdistan enjoys a decision independently of the central government has been able to rise to their betterment in the economic, in the remainder of this factor in the southern regions with it's a safe one hundred percent is linked to the central government to find stability withdrew its effects on those areas.
The second challenge is no different from its predecessor the importance of the problem is related to management in Kurdistan overcome this challenge after going through these gaps since 1992, and they arrived after 8 years of fighting and chaos, and arrived at the need to put the right man in the right place .. When you go to any department in Kurdistan, you find that it is headed by the entirely appropriate and we find that the engineers took their right and find that the technical plan is the decision-maker in the project investment and also find that the owner of the political center, which covers the office a good listener to his advisers and as we see the opposite in other areas of the country until you find the experience interested in the implementation of the dictates of an administrator is the highest so they upgraded its indifferent and his circle, and this is a problem management futile.
Al-Asadi pointed out that the budget of Basra in 2011 exceeded $ 2 billion and this amount is large and massive so what will happen in Basra? Convey a historic shift in a short time if there was good governance and independence of the decision and that these assignments will continue in the future.
In another matter, Al- Asadi speaking on the subject of investment in the housing sector, where he stressed the need to reflect the issue of appearance and drumming media to the implementation stage the real because the country needs a major housing and promised the issue serious in the absence of the stability of the citizen in the house of harboring and otherwise we do not expect him to be a positive factor production at all.
He said that the possible solutions to the housing crisis is : Everyone knows that there are huge financial savings in state banks not seen any government move to invest in, worth tens of billions of dollars it will solve a lot of the problem. He said: When we hear that the Bank of Iraq has a contract with the Ministry of Higher Education and Research to lend scientific university professors, and ensure that housing is very convenient for them we are with the proper orientation.
But Al-Asadi goes on to say: The salary of a university professor grants a good position to ensure adequate housing is open and this is a sound, but how the case with the other segments?.
He recalled in place of security and stability, saying: even I would bring security and stability must be that I would bring economic stability in the country and asked: Why wait for the unemployed man does not have a residence you expect him to be stable? And how I expect him not to come outside the circle of positive social barn? And this is very difficult and even electricity is a stable foundation for the advancement of economic reality how? If the electric current stable makes people sit in their homes and spend more time outside the house which reduced, problems and these factors affect directly and indirectly on the security and stability, which is the basis of economic stability and promoting economic development.
According to Asadi that tackling unemployment is the other contribute to achieving the desired stability and this challenge alone and need will come to the dialogues in the preparation for publication later.

"Such a refinery is due to become the most technically advanced refinery in Iraq with the use of the latest available technologies that will ensure almost full conversion of crude to final products in line with new Iraqi laws [as regards] refining and the environment," a statement said.
According to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), Iraq produces about 453,000 bpd of refined products and uses 589,000 bpd.

The project is part of the government's plans to raise its refining capacity by 750,000 bpd, up from the existing 660,000 bpd. As Iraqi economy picks up... the country will need new refining capacity to meet the growing demand and it comes right in time."

Mott MacDonald sees great opportunities in Iraq
AME Info - [7/24/2011]
Mott MacDonald's director of oil, gas and petrochemicals, Azfar Shaukat, told attendees at the Iraq Petroleum Conference of great potential in the oil and gas sector, but warned companies they will have to be patient until significant investment is found. The event, held at the Landmark Hotel in London, UK, focused on the next phase of developing Iraq's oil and gas resources as well as the current and future upstream opportunities. It was attended by international oil and gas companies from 70 countries together with key Iraqi oil and gas industry experts.
In his presentation Azfar told delegates that at present Iraq is losing, through flaring, in excess of 10 billion cubic metres (bcm) of associated gas a year. This is gas produced as part of oil production that has historically not been captured. In addition the gas infrastructure in the country is inadequate for the planned volumes and will need significant investment to upgrade.
"The primary focus for Iraq is to improve the reliability and availability of electricity to its population, and since this is planned to be gas-fired, most of the associated gas will be consumed by new power stations," Azfar commented.
Mott MacDonald has been active in Iraq for more than 50 years and in the last six years has delivered over a 1000 projects in Iraq covering health, transport, power, and water. They are supporting major energy companies in the development of oil and gas fields which involves asset surveys and working with the state and international companies to come up with the right solutions to refurbish and upgrade oil and gas facilities in order to increase production.
Azfar said, "With targeted oil production associated gas output could rise to 70bcm per year, equivalent to roughly three-quarters of UK annual consumption. However, although neighbouring countries and Europe are interested in gas from Iraq, the actual amount of gas available for export will be very limited over the next 5-10 years."

Iraq investment beckons
boston herald - [7/24/2011]
Growing stability in Iraq has inspired a burst of foreign investment, though eight years after the U.S. invasion — you know, the one the Bush administration launched to exploit Iraq’s oil and other resources — the United States remains a bit player, even trailing France. No irony there.
USA Today reported last week that foreign investment in Iraq is on track to double in 2011. The paper cited a report by Dunia Frontier Consultants that said Iraq attracted $45.6 billion in foreign investment in the first half of the year — about $3 billion more than all of 2010.
And at a recent World Bank forum, business leaders agreed that Iraq, having reached a level of political stability, is poised to emerge a business leader in the region. One expert called Iraq “the most exciting investment opportunity in the Middle East right now.”
Now, no one is yet sinking billions into gleaming new fac-tories or office parks, and the risk of investing money and personnel in Iraq remains high.
But construction of new schools and housing, contracts to develop the nation’s oil fields and rebuild its unreliable electrical grid are finding willing bidders. The newspaper reported that South Korea is responsible for a quarter of this year’s foreign investment, while the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is encouraging more American companies to consider options in Iraq.
There are myriad legal and security complications involved, though the U.S. government and business groups are working to reduce those barriers. Provincial Reconstruction Teams have even sponsored several “Made in USA” catalog fairs featuring American companies, mostly related to construction and industrial equipment.
Even France agrees, the climate is improving. And that is good news for the people of Iraq.

China begins oil production in Iraq
Gulf News - [7/24/2011]
China National Petroleum Corp, known as CNPC, yesterday started crude oil production from the Al Ahdab oil field in central Iraq, Iraqi oil officials said.
The officials said output is running at a rate of 40,000 barrels per day, and will rise to 60,000 barrels a day within the next few days. By the end of the year, the field, which has reserves of 1 billion barrels, should be producing 120,000 barrels, rising to 160,000 barrels a day by the end of 2012, the officials said.
Oil will be sent to a gathering station in Tuba in southern Iraq before being pumped to export terminals. "Crude oil for export from [Al] Ahdab is expected to reach Tuba on August 10," an official said.
In March 2009, CNPC secured the first major oil-development deal with Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussain in 2003 with its $3 billion (Dh11 billion) project to develop the Al Ahdab field, which lies in Wasit governorate, some 160 kilometres south of Baghdad.
Under the agreement, CNPC will charge a service fee of $6 for each produced barrel of oil as well as the costs incurred to develop the field.
China is a leading player in Iraq's oil sector. In 2009, CNPC sealed a deal along with Britain's BP PLC (BP) to ramp up production at Iraq's biggest oil field, Rumaila, which has estimated reserves of 17.7 billion barrels.
In December of that year, a consortium led by CNPC won the right to develop Halfaya oil field in southern Iraq, whose reserves are estimated at 4.09 billion barrels. Also, Chinese companies had secured a deal to upgrade Missan oil fields in southern Iraq.
