Britain's Hague arrives on first visit to Iraq

Baghdad (AFP) Sept 12, 2012


British Foreign Secretary William Hague arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday on his first to Iraq, during which he will hold talks on issues including the crisis in Syria and the Iraqi political process.

Hague said on arrival that he will meet with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari for talks on "UK support for the political process in Iraq, and discuss how the international community can work together to bring an end to the bloodshed in Syria," a Foreign Office statement said.

He is also to meet with parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi.

Iraq has been hit by a series of intertwined political crises that began at the end of last year and have paralysed the government. In neighbouring Syria, opponents of President Bashar al-Assad are battling forces loyal to his regime.

Hague also condemned a wave of over 30 attacks that killed more than 80 people and wounded over 400 on Saturday and Sunday.

"The appalling terrorist attacks earlier this week demonstrate that some in Iraq remain opposed to progress. I extend my deepest condolences to the families of those who were killed," Hague said.

While violence in Iraq is down from its peak in 2006 and 2007, attacks remain common.
