Iraq

I welcome today's announcement and the confirmation that we will continue to play a role in Iraqi life, particularly in terms of economic development and promoting democracy. Will the Prime Minister assure us that the role of women in Iraqi society will be a central theme of our work there, particularly in terms of access to educational opportunities, involvement in economic life and representation in parliamentary democracy?
