Saudi - Kuwaiti border demarcation near completion

Saudi Arabia's interior minister said yesterday border demarcation with Kuwait was near completion with only minor issues pertaining to sea frontiers yet to be resolved.

Asked about the status of Saudi - Kuwaiti border talks, prince Naif Bin Abdl Aziz said that things were on the right track and would be resolved soon.

"Only minor things remain, the most important of which is the sea boundary between the kingdom and Kuwait," the prince told reporters.

Kuwait's foreign minister, Shiekh sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, was quoted last week as saying that his country and Saudi Arabia have completed aerial demarcation of their common borders, Al-Wafd reported today.
