Politics 7/27/2011 8:30:00 PM
KUWAIT, July 27 (KUNA) -- Kuwait is determined to go ahead with carrying out the Mubarak Al-Kabir port project on Boubyan Island, an official spokesman said here Wednesday.
The remarks were made by Spokesman for the Kuwaiti Government Ali Al-Rashid to KUNA following an Iraqi call on Kuwait to stop the port project.
"We won't be intimidated by any remarks," defied Al-Rashid, who also doubles as Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs.
But, he said: "Kuwait cannot cause any obstacle, harm or problem to its neighbors." However, he added: "Kuwait won't condone any infringement upon its sovereignty. What is happening at Mubarak Al-Kabir port falls within Kuwaiti sovereignty so we cannot accept any interference in this respect." The spokesman went on to say: "The technical aspects of this project have proved undoubtedly that the position of Mubarak Al-Kabir port won't impede Iraqi navigati on."
