Were any guarantees given by the Iraqi government regarding technological investment in Iraq?
Cohen: During our meetings with Iraqi government officials we discussed investment. Officials spoke about the country’s intentions to attract investment – this is one of the aims of the government and we share the same goal. But, before achieving this goal some steps need to be taken and some perceptions changed. There are good examples of successful investments in Iraq. These successful models should be made known to international companies to encourage them to come to Iraq. We highlighted this issue during our meetings with Iraqi government officials.
