Iraq, US to resume new round of strategic dialogue
Iraq and the US have agreed to resume strategic talks over their mutual relationship and further US troop withdrawals.
Baghdad has requested a new round of strategic talks with the United States over the future of their relationship, including the topic of troop withdrawal. The discussions will start next month.
“We look forward to renewing our strategic dialogue with the government of Iraq over the month of April,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said March 23, a few hours after Iraq's request.
The strategic dialogue started in June 2020 under the Trump administration. The dialogue included issues relating to security, the economy and education.
“This will be an important opportunity to discuss our mutual interests across a range of fields from security to culture, trade, and climate,” Psaki added.
