🇪🇺 🇮🇶 Klemens Semtner

Good to exchange views with the Executive Director of the International Trade Centre during her visit to Iraq for the Iraq National Trade Forum.
We shared an aligned view on the importance of strengthening trade & investment opportunities & supporting Iraq’s economic development.

The EU wants to support more trade and investment with Iraq.

That was my key message during my meeting with H.E. Dr. Mustafa Nizar Juma Al-Ani.

Delighted to meet the new French Ambassador to Iraq, H.E. Mr. Alexandre Garcia. I look forward to a close cooperation with such an experienced diplomat. A very warm welcome to Baghdad!

Culture is at the heart of Iraq’s identity and future!

With €86 million in EU support to UNESCO, we are working with Iraq’s Government to preserve and revitalise the historic cities of #Mosul and #Basra.

A very warm welcome to our new EU Member States colleagues in Baghdad (from left to right): H.E. Amb. Rochus Pronk 🇳🇱, Ms. Hindeja Farah, CdA 🇩🇪, Ms. Maria Higon Valesco, CdA a.i. 🇪🇸 and H.E. Amb. Axel Wech 🇦🇹. Good luck to all of you!
