04/10/2011, Erbil – H.E. Dr. Ali Sindi received an American delegation headed by Mr. Alex Deprez, Deputy Mission director, USAID.
The delegation stated the USA government’s intent to continue supporting Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, particularly after the USA Congress requested the government to continue its reconstruction projects in Iraq. Mr. Deprez talked about the areas of focus, which includes health, banking, civil service reform and internally displaced persons.
Dr. Sindi reiterated the MoP’s offer of necessary facilitation and requested the delegation to implement the Kurdistan Region’s projects directly through the KRG rather than Baghdad to avoid delays. Dr. Sindi added that the KRG can co-finance some of the projects along the line of similar projects implemented with the UN agencies and the World Bank.
