IN view of what is known to you and to us, and also to every
poor person, of the good and friendly relations which have existed for verju™
years between the A1 Sabah and the A1 Sand dynasties, more especially betu
His Majesty King Abdul Aziz and his Excellency Sheikh Ahmad-al-Jabir, 2
in consequence of the desire of both countries to further strengthen these relati®,
by removing the trade blockade of Koweit, we have suggested below the "
suitable method, as seemed to us, for the resumption of the export trade
Koweit) with His Majesty’s Kingdom. These are as follows :—

( 1 ) That customs collecting centres should be established within the froi
°f His Majesty the King. These may consist of one post or more
one, and in such places as His Majesty the King may choose.
( 2 ) That his Excellency Sheikh Ahmad-al-Jabir shall, for his part, assist I Tf ,
the best of his power in the control and guiding of all exports to tk ;
above posts or centres. This will be by means of manifests, which n! f
be issued in triplicate; the first copy to go with the goods, the secou |
to be handed over to His Majesty’s local agent, Abdulla-an-Nafisum
the third one to remain in the customs office of the local Government
1 he above is the opinion we hold, and the procedure is one which is recognise!
e ween vingdoms and nations that are good neighbours, as well as by others.
