LONDON, 30 May 2004 — Following the first Iraq Procurement event, Windrush Communications has announced a follow-up event, incorporating the Iraqi Procurement, to be held in Amman on Oct. 5-7. At the previous event, held in London earlier this year under the title “Meet the Buyers”, over 30 Iraqi government officials and 40 Iraqi business leaders participated while over 350 corporate delegates representing 220 companies also took part.
“We have attended several Iraqi reconstruction events but Iraq Procurement in London was the most productive, practical and successful business event,” said Dr. Omar Salameh, CPO, Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
A large number of the delegates present at the first meeting have already confirmed attendance at Jordan’s Iraq Procurement, where Iraqi government ministers and their deputies will gather along with a high level delegation from northern Iraq.
The event will offer an international exhibition and conference with a “Meet the Buyers” forum, where over 100 Iraqi contractors and business leaders will be available to meet delegates. Meetings with government officials from both the Iraqi government and Northern region will also be held along with participation from the Central Bank of Iraq.
