Iraq returns more Kuwaiti property, UN reports

Iraq has handed over to Kuwaiti officials items of Kuwaiti property not related to its national archives, a UN spokesman said today in New York.

The handover took place yesterday in Umm Qasr with the help of the UN Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission (UNIKOM).

Earlier this month, Iraq notified the UN envoy dealing with the return of missing Kuwaiti nationals and property, Yuli Vorontsov, that the Minister of Foreign Affairs would welcome Ambassador Vorontsov's visit to Baghdad. No date has been set for the trip.
