SLOVAKIA will forgive Iraq its debt amounting to Sk35.2 million (€900,000), the Slovak cabinet decided on June 21, ahead of a June 22 International Conference on Iraq in Brussels.
Foreign Affairs Minister Eduard Kukan represented Slovakia at the conference. Forgiveness of debt is a "token of the willingness to help Iraq build a free democratic society," Kukan said.
The EU, the USA and the UN participated in the conference, the TASR news agency reported.
