Boundary between Kuwait and Neid.
Sir,
In continuation oi the letter from the Government
of India in the Foreign and Political Department No.
F. 169-N/35, dated the 30th September 1935, I am directed
to inform you that after consultation with His Majesty's
secretary of ^tate for India, the Government of India have
decided that it is desirable that the frontier between
Kuwait and !<ejd should be shown as an undemarcated boundary
on the Survey of India maps. They consider however that
the use oi the symbol for undemarcated boundary with the
addition of the word *approximate M might give the erroneous
impression that the boundary line is not clearly defined.
They are therefore of opinion that the word ,, approxim&te ,,
should not be used and that a note should be made on the
maps themselves stating that the frontier was defined by the
Kuwait-Nejd Boundary Convention of 1922, page 213, Volume XI
