KUWAIT: Kuwait has summoned the Iranian charge d’affairs and handed him an official protest over reports that Iran had published a brochure on investment opportunities at a disputed gas field, state news agency KUNA said. The agency, quoting a foreign ministry statement, denied there had been any change to the status quo of the Dorra field which lies on the continental shelf between Opec producers Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
The offshore gas field has been a bone of contention between Tehran and Kuwait since the 1960s. Iran said in 2012 it planned to develop the portion under its control, and which it calls Arash field. (Reuters)
