Ambassador Quy praised the Iraqi government’s efforts and recent progress, but expressed concern over the security situation in Iraq. He said Iraq’s upcoming elections should be free and fair, and include women and young adults.
He called on the international community to honor its commitments to support Iraq and respect its political independence, territorial integrity, and sovereignty.
Vietnam, he said, urges closer co-operation between Iraq and Kuwait in searching for Kuwaiti and other foreign nationals who have gone missing in Iraq, and returning Kuwaiti property in line with UNSC Resolution 2107.
