Conference on rebuilding Iraq

Published: 14 April 2003 y., Monday
Premier Leszek Miller said on Polish Television on 10 April that the United States is organizing a high-level conference on the political and economic reconstruction of Iraq "in the near future," adding that just three other countries have been invited: Great Britain, Australia, and Poland. Miller did not mention a date or location of the conference, citing security reasons. "This is also proof of what excellent political relations we have at the moment with the United States," he said. "And of how these can translate into technological partnership and economic partnership." PAP reported the same day that U.S. President George W. Bush phoned his Polish counterpart Aleksander Kwasniewski and thanked Poland for its political support for coalition actions and for the participation, competence, and efficiency of Polish units in military operations in Iraq. In a special communique, Kwasniewski stressed that Poland and Polish companies are ready to actively participate in the stabilization process and the reconstruction of Iraq.
