Kuwait's compensation from Iraq will be closed by the UNCC

BAGHDAD: After Iraq settles the accounts, the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) will make a resolution to permanently close the file of financial compensations for Kuwait, Kuwait Ambassador to Iraq Salem Al-Zamanan said on Saturday.


Kuwait has been supporting Iraq in all fields since 2003, including building shelters and mobile clinics to alleviate the suffering of displaced people, according to Al-Zamanan.


He noted that Kuwait had previously provided a grant valued at USD 100 million to Iraq's health sector, in addition to USD two billion in pledges during the International Conference for Reconstruction of Iraq, which Kuwait hosted in 2018.

The Central Bank of Iraq announced last Tuesday that the full financial compensation of USD 52.4 billion had been paid to Kuwait.
