The National Adviser, Qassem Al-Araji, affirmed: “The Iraqi forces possess great experience in the field of combating terrorism.”
A statement by the Chancellery quoted Al-Araji as saying during his meeting with the Norwegian Ambassador, Espen Lindbeck: “The terrorist ISIS continues to pose a threat to the region and the world, and Iraq continues to fight terrorist elements until they are eliminated.”
He added, “The Iraqi forces possess great experience in the field of combating terrorism, and they need the support of friendly countries in the fields of exchanging information, expertise and cybersecurity.”
Al-Araji expressed Iraq’s welcome to any international effort to help combat drugs, because it is a pest that poses a threat to societies, and combating it is a priority for the Iraqi government.
The National Security Adviser stressed the importance of dismantling the Syrian Al-Hol camp, as it poses a real danger to the region and the world, once again calling on the international community to support Iraq in this field, and for countries to withdraw their nationals from the camp.
For his part, the Norwegian Ambassador confirmed that his country had returned its nationals from Al-Hol camp, with the exception of a child and two women.
