Iran's ambassador to Kuwait said Tehran would have an "active role" in rebuilding Iraq just as it aided the country in fighting the terrorists who wreaked havoc on it.
"The Islamic Republic, as a neighbor and friend of Iraq, has always played an active and effective role in fighting terrorist groups and would like to see this role continuing in the form of reconstruction of Iraq," ISNA quoted Alireza Enayati as saying on Tuesday.
The ambassador noted that a stable Iraq would be more influential in "regional equations".
Kuwait on Monday opened a week of conferences aimed at enlisting aid to rebuild Iraq after the defeat of the self-styled Islamic State terrorist group.
Authorities estimate Iraq needs $88.2 billion to restore a country smashed after the extremists seized the country's second-largest city of Mosul and a mass of territory in June 2014. Enayati said Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif would also take part in the ministerial meeting of the conference scheduled for Wednesday.
More than 70 countries would attend the Wednesday meeting.
