Iraqi Foreign Minister urges EU to remove country from list of Terrorism sponsors

Cairo, Sep 17 (Sputnik) – Iraq has called on the European Commission (EC) to exclude the state from the list of third countries that launder money and finance terrorism, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday in the wake of a meeting between Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrel.
The meeting between the two high-ranking officials took place on Wednesday in the Brussels-based EC headquarters and they discussed cooperation between Baghdad and the European Union countries, as well as issues of mutual concern and the parliamentary elections that are scheduled to be held in Iraq in June 2021.
"The two sides discussed the issue of removing Iraq from the European Commission’s list of high-risk countries in the field of money laundering and terrorist financing and renewed inviting the relevant authorities in the commission to accelerate dialogue with the concerned technical authorities in Iraq in order to complete the evaluation of Iraq’s performance in this field, and remove it from this list," the ministry said in an official statement.
