Natural resources in the divided submerged area are owned jointly by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait

The ownership of the natural resources in the divided submerged area, including the entire Al-Durra field, is joint ownership between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait only, said an official source from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait alone have full sovereign rights to exploit the wealth in that region, said the source in a statement reported by the Saudi Press Agency.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia renewed its call for the Iranian side to start negotiations to demarcate the eastern border of the submerged area divided between the Kingdom and Kuwait as one negotiating party, as opposed to the Iranian side.
