'• relations of Kuwait with its great neighbour Saudi-Arabia.
Some 20 years ago, certain difficulties caused the cessation
of the trade that used to' flow freely from Kuwait into the
interior of Arabia. Prolonged efforts to solve these
difficulties have at last, through the v/isdom of His Majesty
King ABDUL AZIZ AL SaOUD, King of Saudi Arabia and His
Highness Sheikh Sir AHMED IBN JaBIR AL SUBAH, Sheikh of
( Kuwait, been crowned with success. Agreements dealing with
trade, friendship and neighbourly relations, and extradition
between the two states, were initialled last Tuesday, and
will come into force before the end of the present month.
The successful outcome of the find! stage of the negotiations,
which took place at Kuwait, was due in considerable measure
-go the helpful attitude of His Excellency Sheikh HaFIZ 7AHBA,
the Minister for Saudi-Arabia in London, and representative

Frontier Force. This force,
he states, is ready for an instant call to -arms. Reservists
have already bee'n called up and the 'closest 'cooperation is
being maintained with the French in Syria. In the event of
war the force would probably have the position of advance
guard of the British forces encamped in the Near East, and
its motto is "First into action and last out". It is an
Imperial unit under British officers. About half of them
are Moslem Arabs, and more than a quarter Christian Arabs.
Gf the remainder, most of them are Circassians, but there
are also Egyptians, Sudanese, Druses and Jews, v/ith a small
number of Europeans. It is an ideal reconnaissance unit.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence between British officials concerning a number of proposed agreements between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait that were intended to formalise relations between the two countries and to end a trade blockade that had been imposed on Kuwait by Saudi Arabia.

The successor to the Court of Directors. , the British Legation in Jeddah and the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Kuwait), but it also contains a limited amount of correspondence with Saudi Arabia's Minister in London, Shaikh Hafiz Wahba, and the Ruler of Kuwait, Shaikh Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, on whose behalf the British acted during the negotiations with Saudi Arabia that led to the agreements.
In addition to correspondence, the file contains several drafts of the proposed agreements between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, including a trade agreement, an agreement of 'Friendship and Bon Voisinage An agreement or treaty based on principles of 'good neighbourliness', often signed between countries which share borders. ' and an agreement for the extradition of offenders. On folios 316-346, the file contains bilingual (English and Arabic) drafts of these agreements.
