A Kuwaiti diplomat said his country is ready to resume negotiations with the European Commission on exempting Kuwaitis from the Schengen visa, the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported on Wednesday.
Assistant Foreign Minister for Europe Affairs Ambassador Waleed Al-Khubaizi made the statement after meeting with Nicholas Westcott, Managing Director for Middle East and North Africa at the European External Action Service with EU.
Khubaizi said the talks would resume once the commission resolves the issue of influx of illegal immigrants to Europe.
