Kuwait, Iraq close to deal

KUWAIT: Kuwait and Iraq are expected to reach an agreement soon setting guidelines for investing in oilfields which cross their desert border, a newspaper reported yesterday.

The Al-Jarida daily said in an unsourced report that a committee from the two countries met on Sunday in Kuwait to discuss the matter and an agreement was imminent.

The newspaper said Kuwait and Iraq will delegate a "third party" it did not name to determine the size of these fields and each country's share in them.
