On Sunday, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein called for the formation of a committee to follow up the outcomes of the Kuwait donor conference.

“Hussein discussed with the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Nayef Falah Mubarak Al-Hajraf a number of issues pertaining to Iraq, and called for the need to form a committee to follow up on the outcomes of the Kuwait donor conference,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Al-Sahaf.

Hussein stressed “the need for coordination with the World Bank, and stresses the need to create a mechanism for joint work with the Cooperation Council.”

Two years have passed since the Kuwait International Conference for the Reconstruction of Iraq with the participation of more than seventy countries, which pledged to provide huge sums of money totaling $ 30 billion, in addition to investments, reconstruction projects and support for areas devastated by the military operations against ISIS.

Iraqi officials and experts confirm that the vast majority of countries did not fulfill their obligations and commitments at the conference.
