The Iraqi Vice President has announced an ambitious five-year plan for economic reconstruction and political reform at a United Nations conference on the country's future.
Representatives from almost 90 countries attended the meeting on the International Compact with Iraq, a partnership agreed with donors last July.
Adel Abdul-Mahdi outlined annual growth targets and a series of pledges on security, the rule of law, protecting human rights and tackling corruption.
He said the plan was a positive step towards a debt free, democratic Iraq.
Eight killed in suicide gas attacks
Suicide attackers driving tankers full of chlorine have killed at least eight people in Iraq.
Hundreds of others were injured near the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi.
Chlorine gas can cause severe burns to the throat and lungs.
Meanwhile, a US soldier has been found guilty on three charges of negligent homicide involving the deaths of three Iraqi detainees.
Sergeant Raymond Girouard was the last of four soldiers to be tried over the killings during a raid on a suspected insurgent camp near Samarra last year.
Two soldiers pleaded guilty to murder and were jailed for 18 years. Another was sentenced to nine months.
24-year-old Girouard has denied that he ordered soldiers to shoot the Iraqi prisoners but admitted covering up the deaths.
