ERBIL — A Kurdish MP of the Iraqi Parliament revealed that a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) will take part in an international conference in Kuwait.

"Despite the prolonged obstacles made by Iraq, a delegation from the region will visit Kuwait to attend the international conference on reconstruction of Iraq in the post-Islamic State (IS) era and that shows that the region is recognized by the world," Arafat Karam, a Kurdish MP told BasNews.

Karam further stated that the Kurdish factions had previously called on Kuwaiti ambassador in Iraq to give Kurdistan Region a chance to attend the conference since they are not sure if Iraq would be transparent about the funds it will get in the conference.

An international conference on reconstruction of Iraq in the post-Islamic State (IS) era will be organized on February 13th by the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry jointly with the National Investment Commission of Iraq, the World Bank, and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) in which several world investors will take part.
