Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein urged the United States to reconsider its travel advisory for Iraq, saying the country’s security situation has improved. His comments came during a meeting with US Deputy Secretary of State Michael Rigas, who visited Iraq to strengthen bilateral relations. Both sides discussed ways to enhance political, economic, and security cooperation. They also reviewed regional challenges, focusing on promoting stability, easing tensions, and encouraging dialogue—particularly concerning Syria and Iran. Hussein highlighted Iraq’s role in supporting stability and also stressed the importance of reopening the US Consulate in Basra. Strengthened coordination between Iraq and the US is seen as essential for continued development.

Abba Father, bless the cooperation between Iraq and the United States. May their partnership lead to progress, understanding, and mutual support for the good of both nations. Amen (The Holy Bible, Ecclesiastes 4:9–10).

Lord, protect citizens, diplomats, and all who work for peace. Surround the nation with Your safety and guide every step toward a secure future. Amen (The Holy Bible, Psalm 121:8).
