Sepember 22, 2010U.S. Ambassador affirms his country's keenness to remove Iraq from Chapter VII
He said the U.S. ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey said that his country is keen to get Iraq under Chapter VII, calling for political blocs to form a government of national partnership. The ambassador also confirmed the importance of strengthening Jeffrey economic and political relations after the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces in 2011.
This came during a joint press conference held yesterday with the American reconstruction team (PRT) and the governor of Nineveh province in the new office building in which the United States was keen to remove Iraq from Chapter VII.
Jeffrey also stressed the importance of forming a government of national partnership, denying at the same time his country's intervention in the issue of government formation.
The ambassador said Jeffrey: "All the Iraqis I spoke with are worried about it, this is an Iraqi process, not an American or international, and our meetings in Baghdad and other informed Iraqi friends we believe that the government must be inclusive and comprehensive and representative of all the components of the Iraqi people must be formed as soon as possible" .
For his part, praised the governor of Nineveh province Liberation of Iraq America's role in support of the process of adaptation of the people of Nineveh in the ranks of the security forces.
He attributed the lack of Nujaifi assistance provided by the U.S. reconstruction team in Nineveh province, security conditions experienced by the province in recent years and hoped to increase the volume of such aid in the coming period.
This is the first visit by the Ambassador Jeffrey to the province since assuming his duties in mid-August last year.
