A Chinese delegation will attend an international donors conference on Iraq's reconstruction in Madrid, capital of Spain, on Oct. 23 and 24, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue in Beijing Tuesday.

The delegation would be led by Assistant Foreign Minister Shen Guofang, said Zhang.

China always held an active view towards participating in the reconstruction in post-war Iraq, she said.

China supported the United Nations playing a key role in the reconstruction process, said Zhang, expressing the hope that the Iraqi people could reconstruct their country as soon as possible, and embark on a route of stabilization and development.
