Washington - US President George Bush Friday thanked Kuwait for sending an ambassador to Iraq during a meeting with Kuwait's Prime Minister Nasser Al-Sabah. "It's a recognition on your part that a stable and peaceful Iraq is in your interests," Bush said, according to a transcript of the meeting. "And we support those interests."
The Bush administration has been urging reluctant countries in the Middle East region to name ambassadors to Iraq to support the elected Iraqi government in its development and stability.
Al-Sabah thanked the US for helping liberate Kuwait in the early 1990s after Iraq had invaded.
"Our people will not forget the position that United States (took,) the leadership and the coalition forces to liberate Kuwait in '91."
