Nuri Pasha to Sir F. Humphrys
Office of the Council of Ministers,
Bagdad, July 21, 1932.
I THINK your Excellency will agree that the time has now come when it is
desirable to reaffirm the existing frontier between Iraq and Koweit.
I therefore request that the necessary action may be taken to obtain the agree
ment of the competent authority or authorities in Koweit to the following descrip
tion of the existing frontier between the two countries: —
" From the intersection of the Wadi-el-Audja with the Batin and thence
northwards along the Batin to a point just south of the latitude of Safwan-
thence eastwards passing south of Safwan Wells, Jebel Sanam and Um Oasr
leaving them to Iraq and so on to the junction of the Khor Zobeir with the
Khor Abdullah. The islands of Warbah, Bubiyan, Maskan (or Mashian)
Failakah, Auhah, Kubbar, Qaru and Umm-el-Maradin appertain to Koweit.''
