Colin Powell says Poland will get a good slice of latest round of Iraq tenders

The American administration in Iraq will soon announce further tenders for the reconstruction of Iraqi infrastructure which will be worth a total of almost $4 billion. Although the tenders are open to bidders from across the globe, they are recognized as a realistic chance for Polish companies to take part in their execution. "We are taking all actions to make sure Poland has its part in the contracts. Polish contracts in Iraq are currently estimated to be worth around $170 million, but we are aiming at a much larger sum. We are also sending experts to Poland, to advise your companies how to win the tenders," said U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B3)
