DOHA, Feb 26 (KUNA) -- Qatari Amir Sheikh Tamim Al-Thani said Monday that his country firmly supports peace and stability in Iraq.
The Qatari Amir held talks with Iraq's chief lawmaker Salim Al-Jabouri, focusing on plans to improve bilateral ties, state-run Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
The Iraqi official said his country is thankful for Qatar's support, citing a sum of USD one billion in loans and investments Doha has pledged in a bid to restore stability to Iraq.
Governments from around the world announced nearly USD 30 billion worth of financial aid to Iraq in a recent Kuwait-hosted international conference on reconstruction in the war-battered nation. (end)
