Russia has agreed to forgive nearly all of Iraq's almost 13 billion dollar Soviet-era debt.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and Russia's Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin signed the deal in Moscow today (Monday). The agreement provides for canceling the debt in stages and for repayment of about 900-million dollars over 17 years.
Earlier, Zebari and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signed a memorandum on trade, economic, scientific and technical cooperation.
Zebari said security in his country has improved, the government is developing a national reconciliation policy and noted progress in ties with other countries.
Lavrov said Russian companies hope to become actively involved in the reconstruction of Iraq, following the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of that country. Kudrin said Russia could invest as much as four-billion dollars in Iraq.
