Kuwait says no border dispute with Iraq
KUWAIT CITY (AFP) - A reported dispute between former foes Iraq and Kuwait over their common border has been resolved, Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah was quoted as saying.

"There is no border dispute between the two countries. The question of where the Kuwaiti-Iraqi frontier lies is considered definitively resolved, in conformity with (UN) Security Council resolutions," the official Kuna agency quoted the premier as saying on Sunday.

"We support the political process in Iraq and hope that this brotherly country can enjoy security, stability and prosperity."

There have been a number of incidents on the border since late July, mainly around the southern Iraqi town of Umm Qasr, including a mortar attack and the tearing up of a Kuwaiti-built barrier allegedly set up on Iraqi territory.
