The top United Nations envoy in Iraq turned his attention today to the coordination of donor resources for the
war-ravaged country ahead of a conference on international assistance in Brussels, Belgium, next week.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Special Representative Ashraf Qazi, who has spent much of his time seeking to ensure the
participation of all sectors of Iraqi society in writing the country’s new constitution, discussed the importance of
continued donor assistance with Finance Minister Ali Abdelamir Allawi and Planning and Development Cooperation Minister
Barham Saleh.
The International Conference on Iraq is being co-hosted by the United States and the European Union (EU) on 22 June.
