Mubasher: Iraq - represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - called on the United States to enhance cooperation in several areas, including the development of oil and gas fields.

In a statement issued early Thursday, Fuad Hussein, the Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs, affirmed his country's keenness to cooperate and strengthen partnership with the United States in all fields, especially security, energy, health, environment, economy, culture, and education.

Fouad Hussein's comments came in the third round of the strategic dialogue between Baghdad and Washington, in the presence of Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State.

Hussein said, "We hope in our talks today to reach common understandings and agreements in all sectors of cooperation, and we look forward to the continuation of the strategic dialogue between the two countries in subsequent rounds."

He alluded to the importance of partnership in the field of investment in various sectors, and to strengthening the presence of American investment companies with experience and competence to ensure the smooth flow of their work in the promising Iraqi markets.

The Iraqi minister called on the United States to strengthen its partnership with his country through the memoranda and agreements signed between the two countries, and what will be agreed upon later, especially in the development of oil and gas fields and the electricity sector, with the aim of Iraq achieving self-sufficiency in the energy field.

He pointed out that the relationship between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq witnessed an evolution towards solving the outstanding problems, leading to the approval of the federal budget.
