Iraq-UK Agreement on training and maritime support (13/10/2009)
We welcome today’s decision of the Council of Representatives to endorse the Iraq-UK Agreement on training and maritime support, which now goes forward to the Presidency Council for final ratification. The Agreement is evidence of our mutual commitment to building the capability of the Iraqi Navy to undertake protection of Iraqi territorial waters and installations.
The Agreement flows from the joint decision by the Iraqi and British Prime Ministers in April 2009 to develop a broad based bilateral relationship focussed on close co-operation in a range of areas, including economic, commercial, development, defence, cultural and educational relations.
