Iraq

Question
What assessment he has made of the implications of the outcome of the recent elections in Iraq for UK policy in the region.
Answer

The 7 March election was evidence of Iraq's progress towards full democracy, a particularly important development in the middle east. It is important that the result is respected by Iraq's political leaders. It is also the case that Iraq's neighbours have a key role in supporting Iraq's democratic future. A democratic Iraq can play an increasing part in maintaining a stable and secure middle east.
