BAGHDAD, Jan 24 (KUNA) -- The Iraqi-US coordination committee held a
meeting on Sunday to follow up on discussions on the issue of relieving Iraq
of the UN-imposed Chapter Seven.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that minister Hoshyar Zebari
headed the Iraqi side at the meeting, while the US party was led by the Deputy
Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman.
Discussions at the meeting dealt with various issues of common concern,
current regional affairs and means and plans for boosting security and
stability in Iraq in particular and the region in general, the official
statement said.
They also dealt in particular with the means to relieve Iraq of the chapter
seven, efforts to enable Iraq restore its international status that it had
enjoyed before issuance of the UN resolution 661 in 1990, in addition to the
US honoring of its pledges with regard of the withdrawal of the American
forces from the country.
In October 2009, the US declared that it agreed with Iraq on establishing
the joint commission to resolve issues related to the chapter Seven. (end)
