Earlier Qatar made a simple promise: "Qatar will waiver the bulk of Iraq's debt and will, at the right time, consider forgiving all of it," the country's foreign ministry spokesman said.
However, the foreign ministry spokesman did not specify the amount of Iraq's outstanding debt, or how much of it is being forgiven.
Kuwait has filed compensation claims worth $170 billion to the UN Compensation Commission, which has already approved some $37 billion to the emirate and actually paid about $9 billion. Unofficial estimates put the amount of iraq's debt to Kuwait at around $15 billion without interest.
