The Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, head of the Iraqi delegation for the strategic dialogue, Abdul Karim Hashem, revealed the existence of joint specialized committees between Baghdad and Washington to discuss the extent of Iraq’s need for foreign forces.

Hashem said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA) today, Thursday, that "there are seven sections in the strategic framework agreement that were discussed during the dialogue between Iraq and the United States, and they concern culture, education, health, money, and the economy, as well as the security and military departments," stressing that "These departments have not been activated since 2009. "

He added, "All of these sections pertain to civil life, as Iraq needs financial and economic assistance under the current circumstance, as well as increasing foreign student missions in the United States, as well as cooperation in the cultural field."
