Iraq Official calls for support
AMMAN (AFP) - An Iraqi official urged the international community to help build skills in his war-scarred country at the opening of a four-day reconstruction trade fair in Jordan.
"I don't think it is right only to spend money on machines, cars and equipment," said Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Kurdistan Rizgar Jiawook.
"Machines are very simple to buy, but to build skills in people takes time. This is what we need," he said. "Technology is going very fast and we have been disconnected for many years."
