Prime Minister Abadi and then President Masoum extended Iraq’s world famous hospitality

Today we are delighted to welcome our Foreign Secretary back to Iraq! on 16 March 2016

Prime Minister Abadi and then President Masoum extended Iraq’s world famous hospitality. During these conversations, the Foreign Secretary praised the Iraq security forces; they have turned the tide in the fight against Daesh. They also shared honest and open views about the need to move forward with plans for reform.

The Foreign Secretary then invited local and international press to join him to discuss the UK’s relationship with Iraq, what the UK has and is doing to support Iraq, and what next for Iraq (reform!). Lots of lively discussion and all left having learned something.

We’re honored to have this opportunity to showcase Iraq to our Foreign Secretary, and we thank Iraq for its generous hospitality.
