- Title:
- File 1855/1904 Pt 6 'Koweit:- Status of Koweitis in Persia.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The papers concern the status of citizens of Koweit [Kuwait] in Persia, particularly in view of the fact that the British Government had not declared a formal protectorate over Kuwait, and that sovereignty over Kuwait was claimed by the Ottoman Empire.
The principal correspondents are the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Major Percy Zachariah Cox); HM Minister at Tehran (Sir Arthur Henry Hardinge); the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (the Marquess of Lansdowne); and senior officials of the Government of India, the Foreign Office, and the India Office.
The papers include: an intervention by the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf to ensure that a British representative was present at the trial of a 'Koweit Arab' in Persia, June-August 1904 (folios 320-323); papers concerning the question of protection for subjects of Kuwait on Persian territory, and incidents of interference by Persian customs with Kuwaiti merchant vessels, June-December 1904 (folios 286-319), including the question of what flag should be flown by Kuwait vessels (folio 291); and papers concerning diplomatic contacts over the status of subjects of Kuwait in Persia between HM Minister at Tehran and the Persian Government, February-August 1905 (folios 248-285).
The French language content of the papers consists of copies of two letters (folios 261 and 276).
