Foreign Ministry: Decision To Downgrade Security Classification Will Open Door For British Companies To Enter Iraqi Market
Money and business Economy News – Baghdad The Foreign Office on Tuesday welcomed the UK's decision to downgrade Iraq's security rating.
The ministry said in a statement, seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the decision of the United Kingdom to reclassify the security level in Iraq, and considers this step an important achievement that reflects the significant improvement in the security situation and the Iraqi government's ongoing efforts to achieve stability and enhance a safe and encouraging environment for investment and work."
It added that "reducing the security classification will open the way for British companies to enter the Iraqi market, and the decision will contribute to reducing the costs of travel and work insurance, which will enhance opportunities for economic and investment cooperation between Iraq and the United Kingdom.
" It continued, "In this context, the ministry calls on other Western countries, including the United States of America, Canada, and the European Union countries (Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands), to reconsider their security classifications for Iraq, and the ministry encourages these countries to take similar steps that support Iraq's efforts to enhance economic cooperation."
The ministry confirmed that "Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein will work to send official messages to the concerned countries, urging them to review their security classifications for Iraq in line with the positive developments and the noticeable improvement in the security situation."
The ministry renewed, according to the statement, "its commitment to work with its international partners to strengthen bilateral relations and provide an appropriate environment for expanding cooperation in various fields, in a way that serves common interests and enhances stability and development in Iraq and the region." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52172
