"The role of the Iraqi government in eradicating terrorism and the Chinese government's interest in the rehabilitation of schools and universities by providing assistance to improve the educational reality in areas that have suffered the control of terrorist gangs," the Chinese ambassador said.

"The need to coordinate the delivery of aid, contribute to reconstruction, and the possibility of signing an agreement between the parties in this regard," Chen stressed.

For his part, Al-Aalak welcomed the Chinese government's initiative, wishing it "a bigger and more secure role in participating in the Kuwait conference which will be held next year in cooperation with the State of Kuwait and the World Bank and with the broad participation of the countries of the world."
