Ambassador Swing pointed out that Kuwait's invitation to this conference is a new demonstration of its interest in humanitarian action and its keenness to apply the highest humanitarian standards in dealing with problems and crises all over the world.
The Kuwaiti ambassador said in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the call for convening this conference has been welcomed by a wide range of UN and international organizations, as the reconstruction of these areas in Iraq is of great importance in the stability and restoration of security. He said he would make official invitations to a number of UN and international organizations interested in participating in humanitarian and reconstruction issues.
On the other hand, an Egyptian government and investment delegation started on Monday a visit to the Iraqi capital Baghdad to meet with Iraqi officials and businessmen, less than two weeks before the convening of an international conference in Kuwait for the reconstruction of Iraq. The Egyptian delegation at Baghdad International Airport received Iraqi Vice President Iyad Allawi, who includes the Egyptian President's Assistant for National and Strategic Projects, Ibrahim Mahleb, and the Ministers of Manpower, Health and Communications, as well as directors, engineers and experts of more than 20 personalities, as well as heads and representatives of major Egyptian companies In particular.

The Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister, Khalid Al-Jarallah, announced earlier in January that the Kuwait International Conference for the reconstruction of Iraq will be held from February 12 to 14 next.
"The majority of members of the Egyptian delegation are businessmen and specialists in projects and infrastructure, and this is important for understanding on a number of things," said Talal Abdullah, a member of the Iraqi Chamber of Commerce. 
"The majority of companies are afraid to enter Iraq and invest or work in it, because of the security situation, and the existence of a country like Egypt with its weight and experience in infrastructure projects is important, but most important to know is that Egypt will not provide projects in the form of grants to Iraq, To give Egypt, the subject is largely dependent on the outcome of the Kuwait Conference. " 
For his part, said one of the members of the Iraqi Investment Authority of the Prime Minister, "The government formed a committee headed by Sami Araji, Chairman of the Investment Authority, and other specialists, in order to draw a clear picture of the Egyptian delegation on the map of urgent projects that must start to restore the life of liberated cities in the north and west of the country "He said.
He added: "There is a prevailing belief in Baghdad, that Saudi Arabia may take the initiative to limit the grant through Egyptian companies, and this is not a problem for us at all as long as the goal will be achieved, which is reconstruction." 
The National Authority for Investment in Iraq has announced earlier, the participation of 950 international companies in the Kuwait International Conference for the reconstruction of Iraq, which is scheduled to be held on the 12th of February.
