Al-Ahmad, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Counselor - Chief of
Asian Affairs on April 20 and 24. Al-Hamad reported that
Kuwait pledged $30 million at the January 2002 Tokyo
International Conference on Reconstruction Assistance to
Afghanistan, and approximately $135 million at the 2004
Berlin Donors' Conference. While Kuwait supports efforts to
ensure that Afghanistan is a stable, democratic state, the
latter pledge has yet to be approved by the Council of
Ministers and it would premature to make new commitments
before the Council acts.
