There are companies that have not gone out to work in any foreign country, but have long and fast implementation experience,” he said. Egyptian tenders on the file of reconstruction of Iraq requires a move on a large level, and we are in constant contact and good relationship with the brothers in Iraq, and we will have a strong presence there.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - 

Iraq's loss of international pledges made by donor countries at the Kuwait International Conference on Iraq's Reconstruction came as a result of nearly two months of negotiations without negotiations, a source in the cabinet said Saturday. 

The source said that "the pledges made in the form of loans conditional and soft, did not start negotiations, and will be lost by Iraq soon, because the bulk of the pledges are limited to a period of two or three months," explaining that "loans amounting to about 30 billion dinars "Many of them may not need Iraq to rely on foreign investment, but it will need some of these loans to rebuild the infrastructure in liberated areas at the very least."

He added that "the failure to start negotiations is due to the lack of vision in the committee that led and organized the Kuwait conference, and preoccupied with the tasks of large can not absorb all of them, the matter of negotiations with contractors, and inspired foreign investors who will come to Baghdad at the end of this month," pointing out that "This will lead to continued deterioration of services in the liberated areas, and the return of displaced persons to their homes in some areas, which are so far abandoned as a result of the great destruction, such as the old city in Mosul." 

"Abadi does not seem willing to start negotiations with the contractors before the elections, and he may wait until the new government is formed, which will be at least July, the date that will miss the opportunity for Iraq fully."

Iraq has received pledges of 30 billion dollars for reconstruction, including about three billion grants to international organizations for humanitarian assistance, youth empowerment and facilitation of small projects.
