Recent attacks, including on 19 August 2009 in Baghdad and on 11 October 2009 in Ramadi, show that terrorist groups are still trying to undermine the significant progress made in Iraq over recent years. Nevertheless, the overall security in Iraq continues to improve as the capability of the Iraqi security forces grows. Importantly, the Iraqi people in provincial and Kurdish regional elections this year chose leaders who promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law over those who offer nothing but violence. January 2010's national election will provide further proof of this.

Following the end of Combat Operations in April 2009, the UK continues to provide training and assistance to all of Iraq's security forces in conjunction with allies and partners. In-country activity includes: providing forensic training to the Iraqi police service; contributing UK police officers to the EU's JUSTLEX rule of law project; providing military training to the Iraqi army through the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Training Mission—Iraq (NTM-I) and we will also shortly recommence training and support to the Iraqi Navy alongside US forces following the ratification of a UK-Iraq co-operation agreement. Activities in the UK include Iraqi attendance at a range of police and military training courses.
