Kuwaiti - Iraqi controversy in Arab labor conference

The Arab labor conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt witnessed a hot controversy between the Iraqi and Kuwaiti teams at the presentation of a draft by the Iraqi delegation that demands solidarity with the Iraqi people in confronting the sanctions imposed on them and asks the neighboring countries-- in reference to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia-- not to use their lands in attacking Iraq, assuring Iraq's right in to confront any attacks.

In meeting of the laborers teams in the conference yesterday the Kuwaiti delegation demanded the cancellation of this draft for its interference in political aspects which contradict resolutions of the Arab labor conference to leave these disputes to be raised by the Arab foreign ministers.

The Kuwaiti delegation demanded that the draft resolution must include asking Iraq to release the Kuwaiti prisoners and detainees in Iraq.
