Adding that "the two sides discussed the strengthening of bilateral relations and joint cooperation between the two peoples and neighboring countries, and developments in the situation in the region and various issues of mutual concern. "We have come a long way and have overcome many outstanding issues.

Relations have seen a qualitative development ..

"The relations between Iraq and Kuwait have witnessed a qualitative development," he said during a meeting with Kuwait's National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim. "We have moved from the stage of fears and ambitions to a stage of trust and cooperation in all fields, And a number of Kuwaiti parliamentarians in the building of the "Council of the Nation", and the presence of deputies from the members of the Iraqi delegation.

He added: "The good relations we have with all neighboring countries reflect on our internal situation in a positive way and lead to reconciliation between our diverse people, and vice versa also because our environment is diverse," stressing that: "What brings us together with Kuwait is the large participants And the historical, cultural and geographical importance; and the natural and human resources we possess together. These relations and wealth are not destroyed except by the adventures and wrongful and aggressive policies that have destroyed the two countries and lost their wealth, and we have overcome most of them and there is little left. "

"We believe that we are moving in the right direction to achieve the interests of the two countries and peoples and strengthen their bilateral relations in light of the difficult situation in the region," he said.

 

Can the last page be folded?

The question now arises: Can the visits of Iraqi officials to Kuwait and the strengthening of joint cooperation between the two countries lead to the collapse of the painful past and forget the anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of their country by former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein? .

This question may remain unanswered for a long time. But it is the ability of Iraqi leaders to take constructive steps to reassure the Kuwaiti people and dispel their doubts and fears.

About 28 years ago, on August 2, 1990, the Kuwaitis awoke to the presence of Iraqi military vehicles whose borders had been breached, an event the region as a whole still bears its consequences to today. At the dawn of 2 August 1990, more than 20,000 Iraqi troops had penetrated the border into Kuwait from four axes and quickly took over the capital, supported by the Iraqi air force.

Kuwait suffered heavy human and material losses. Hundreds of Kuwaitis were killed and hundreds of Kuwaitis were injured. Hundreds of oil wells were set on fire, causing huge environmental disasters and long delays in oil production.
