The details are as follows:

How do you assess the results of the seventh conference of heads of diplomatic missions?

* Conference of lectures and meetings with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister and Deputy Minister were very helpful and is a conference of heads of diplomatic missions important occasion honored during a meeting of His Highness the Amir and His Highness the Crown Prince and HH the Prime Minister to hear from political leadership guidance directly from the goals and aspirations that they expect us that we achieve in our work.

And also a lecture in favor of residue for the work they do to address the problem of illegal residents in Kuwait on the grounds it was an issue raised in international organizations and lecture was useful because we saw a lot of things and steps that Andzoha and problem stateless after her humanist political security and economic dimension and we felt the presence of interesting in each dimension and address substantive chronic problem and we are optimistic of his speech that topic during the next few years will go a long way to go in addressing the problem, as well as listened to Abdullah Bishara with d.

The conference achieved its goals fully.



I talked about a quantum leap in the State Department Can we say that it means a radical change in the country's foreign policy?

* Policy Kuwait Foreign based on fixed rules in our surroundings Gulf Arab Islamic and non-aligned countries, but what I felt the change in the promotion of work and closer ties, means no countries are very important but the level of relations between us and them without ambition and thus what Althompsth is the tendency to strengthen our relations with small countries in the Pacific and Caribbean countries through the Kuwait Fund for Development as well as open new embassies in several capitals of the world, we are a small country but we have possibilities, Kuwait during the past 20 years under the conditions experienced forced to keep away and focus solely on security concerns, and maintain independence, sovereignty and stability was the major concern, but now the main objective of the Ministry of Foreign How to preserve the country's security and sovereignty through non-interference in internal affairs, non-use of force, to resolve issues through peaceful means, this first goal, Add to that we always raise the slogan of transforming Kuwait for a commercial and financial center must therefore be translated on the ground, and this required us to work to make it happen.

Permanent delegate to the United Nations since 3 years what you would have done and what your priorities for the next phase?

* Of the most important things that we have made during the past three years under the guidance of officials and the State Department Human Rights Council, and the second year, for the first time enter the UN Human Rights Council, a membership is important because the second most important device UN, and our membership expires the end of 2014, we also gained membership Economic and Social Council, the third most important organ of the United Nations, and Add to that we have given our candidature for the Security Council, the election will be in 2017 and the period of 4 years short of the preparation and the preparation and organization of an election campaign to win membership started where and put the program of work we go it until we reach the membership and this quantum leap in our accession for a number of devices task, and this shows that we started to be active more in participation in international activities task, and during this period we continue to follow Iraq's obligations remaining, we have achieved the significant progress before the end of this month we will finish of many of the remaining obligations on Iraq.



Where arrived Kuwait donated $ 300 million for the displaced Syrians, who pledged during the hosting of the International Conference for the displaced Syrians?

* Donations not yet reached any international organization, Kuwait announced a donation of $ 300 million, but there are administrative procedures is about to complete in the near future, and the amount mostly will go to international organizations that announced the appeal and the largest is the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), where it will have the biggest share, and also World Food Program will have a large share of the contributions, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization, and the International Organisation for Migration and the International Committee of the Red Cross, and United Nations Development Programme, and they are distributed around 10 organizations and a part of the amount will return to Kuwait Red Crescent Society and the global charity Islamic, because these committees Kuwait to play a prominent role in the provision of humanitarian assistance to refugees Syrians and their activities will be supported and I expect that within two weeks from now the amount will be delivered either in Kuwait or in their headquarters by New York and Geneva.

Criticized Permanent Representative of Syria to the United Nations Bashar Jaafari Kuwait and displaced Syrians conference as a conference for the media glare, as Gulf states reneged on its commitments as he said .. What is your comment?

* Syrians know that our rational and balanced, we also reject arming the opposition in Syria, and Kuwait did not arming any party and if you decide to any country arming the opposition, this is not our business, but we do not believe that arming the Syrian opposition a solution, but on the contrary would increase the suffering and tragedy, killings and violence Inside Syria, what we want to stop the killing, and to find a political solution because it saves Syria division and civil war that could go on for many years, and any political solution must be based on the demands and aspirations of the Syrian people.

How do you explain what happened recently on the border with Iraq?

* Now reached a critical stage in the maintenance of border signs where there are only 500 meters where we got to the area where it always differences, an area of ​​Umm Qasr, and the problem is that in this area of ​​border markers and specifically mark No. 105 is in the middle area of ​​Umm Qasr and there are three houses intervention meters inside the Kuwaiti border.

If we go back to the beginning of the case in 1993 was marking the border between Kuwait and Iraq, and now the United Nations have an obligation under the resolution and on the recommendation of the Boundary Commission to be maintenance of border signs, but since 2003 has not been any maintenance operation and we asked the United Nations to be there maintenance and costs shared between us and Iraq Indeed Iraq to pay its share and we paid and the United Nations began maintenance and was traveling to the fullest where there a legal obligation and political commitment from the highest level to end Thread end maintenance work, which means that any override on the border must pass away.

So what happened now that Kuwait and the United Nations after the incident gave us Iraq for some time to convince parents or compensated and relocated to another place, Iraq and promised that also confirms its commitment and confirms that he will work in his power to accomplish the maintenance work in a timely manner prior to 31 this month, also said the United Nations requests from Iraq to provide security plan have confirmed the commitment to preventing any abuses, especially by parents living in the area of ​​Umm Qasr, in fact Kuwait relented and in good faith in resolving many of the issues of bilateral and sweat estimated it and assured us and the United Nations that they will carry out their commitments, and we expect that we finish them and begin a new chapter of relations, which started from the ground up.

Remaining obligations

What remains to Iraq out of Chapter VII?

* We must remember here that the representative of the Secretary-General in Iraq Martin Kobler presented a report on behalf of the Secretary-General to the Security Council, said Iraq's obligations remaining example maintenance of border markers, where he said they are going correctly, but abuses have not yet been removed, compensation farmers had not been completed , and demanded that Iraq out of the obligations of Chapter VII that removes these things and end compensation farmers, and now there are negotiations between Iraq and the United Nations to limit the beneficiaries of the compensation and Iraq reached the United Nations as the process of inventory and re-negotiate the agreement, including the receipt of compensation from the United Nations for being left to farmers and to attain the United Nations completion of the subject, and this is what we hope because Iraq says that the amount deposited by Kuwait to the United Nations to compensate farmers is not enough and that he is obliged to pay more for its citizens, but this is an Iraqi is not our affair and, accordingly, on Iraq to receive money compensation for farmers that Dfnaha voluntarily for distribution to farmers, We understand the human dimension, and parents who live for a long time at the border, we understand it is not easy to disarm their homes, but this is the responsibility of the Iraqi government in the first place because these Mottaguzun on the Kuwaiti side of the border.

And I want to emphasize that neither Kuwait nor Iraq Sikhrjan of Chapter VII with respect borders, Resolution No. 833 concerning the demarcation of the border the binding of Kuwait as is binding on Iraq and the Security Council is the guarantor of the inviolability of borders.

So border indicating a decision under Chapter VII and binding for us and for Iraq and we have not been able to do any work which exceeds the resolution 833, and there are theme of prisoners and missing persons and property under Chapter VII and also a mechanism for follow-up themes Kalmnsag high-level international and this mechanism under Chapter VII, Iraq demanding an end mechanism coordinator because they want to get out from under Chapter VII, and we must point out here that the fear Iraq is not lower than warranted by Chapter VII, which means the eligibility of the Security Council to intervene in the case have not been implemented decisions, but can not imagine that the Security Council can be applied to any punishment on Iraq as well as Iraq is not afraid of sanctions but wants to end any mechanism exist, and we want the continuation of the United Nations not to press, but to accelerate cooperation, and offers Iraq and take steps prove where he is doing what in this case, in the past we were able to identify 236 people missing and got effort on the part of Iraq, but we believe that they can do more, and directory it from time to time we receive the archive, if taken serious steps can be reached National Archives, and we we have expressed flexibility on the subject coordinator and reminded the Iraqis that we do not have a problem but we want to show that Iraq collaborated in maintenance and removal of abuses and receipt of funds for farmers.

In case of completion of maintenance of border markers and Iraq received money farmers Is it possible that the mechanism Tnhua international coordinator of property and prisoners?

* If what has been the completion of maintenance work and removed the excesses border and handed over compensation to Iraqi farmers will be between us and Iraq, but to adopt one of the options put forward by the Secretary-General as alternatives to the state coordinator.




Also learned that the political official in the Office of the Secretary-General received the file?

* Temporarily, the matter, however, the Security Council, which did not matter now, but in June.

In former Secretary-General has made several suggestions, including that receive UNAMI in Iraq?

* If transmit UNAMI more Vsnasr give periodic reports to the mission Security Council Bouksosm and will be in accordance with a decision issued by the Council.




Between the period and other emerging voices within Iraq, demanding the return of the demarcation of the border and that there are Iraqi territory annexed to Kuwait during the demarcation that was how do you like this?

* Legally the matter closed and the Committee on the border was drawn did not specify, but the task of technology and the border was drawn under the previous agreements between the parties of Iraq and Kuwait and therefore something that causes some in Iraq claims behind us and the current government has recognized borders and even Saddam Hussein recognized and finished it and therefore does not deserve this even respond to it.



For the first time Kuwait is a member of the Human Rights Council and the note reports issued by international organizations criticizing Kuwait with regard to human rights and human trafficking how defended the position of the council Kuwait?

* There is no country in the world record bright white and this is an established fact, but there are problematic in this matter as there is a gap and a difference culturally civilized and religiously, that's why we attack the threads will not Netgear where they, for example speak on women's rights and gender equality does not mean that only equality male and female, but give freedom for homosexuals, for example, as well as for example they believe that penalty violation of the right of human rights while we tell them that we apply Islamic law, and in fact Kuwait since 2006 have not executed anyone and this shows that we did not use in anything but the crime harmful to society and deserve this punishment, and that Kuwait has made great strides with regard to women's rights, and stateless and also the disabled and their right to work and education and health services and feel that their interest in Kuwait made great strides.
