Al-Hakim says his talks with Kuwaiti leaders deal with Iraqi affairs
KUWAIT, The visiting head of the Iraqi Supreme Islamic Council Ammar Al-Hakim said on Monday his current visit to Kuwait is aimed at holding "serious talks" with the leaders on Iraqi political affairs.
Speaking at a news conference, held at the headquarters of the Kuwaiti Journalists Association, Al-Hakim said he would hold talks, during the visit, with His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, HH the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber al-Sabah, HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Jassem Al-Kharafi.
The Kuwaiti people are very concerned at the conditions in Iraq and they have been closely following up on the events and affairs there, and this signal that the two countries enjoy historic ties bounding the two brotherly peoples, Al-Hakim said.
Al-Hakim said he sensed, during the meetings with the Kuwaiti leaders, their concern at the events in Iraq and their keenness on maintaining the unity and stability of Iraq.
The Iraqi leader said he visited a number of Iraqis receiving treatment at Kuwait hospitals of injuries sustained as a result of recent bombing attacks in Basra, praising the special care given to the injured and the care of HH the Amir for them.
He indicated that his visit was part of a policy to inform leaders of the neighboring countries about the internal conditions in Iraq. "Stability of Iraq is linked to the stability of the region," he added.
Al-Hakim acknowledged that the failure of forming a new government has repercussions internally and regionally, expressing hope that consultations among the country's four political blocs would result in a consensus on forming a new government. The consultations would end with formation of a national unity government, he said, affirming necessity of including all the political trends in the government line-up.
