Today, Sunday (July 23, 2023), the Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee described France as one of the strongest countries of the European Union allied to Iraq, while indicating that Baghdad is planning joint security, military and economic action with Paris.
A member of the committee, Amer Al-Fayez, told "Baghdad Today" that "France is considered one of the strongest countries of the European Union, an ally of Iraq, and there is a joint security and military work between the two countries, in addition to economic files that concern the conditions of the region in general, as there is joint coordination between Baghdad and Paris."
And Al-Fayez stated, "The visit of French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecorno to Iraq a few days ago comes to strengthen security and military cooperation between the two countries, especially since Iraq has worked greatly to remove the threat of terrorism from the world by fighting and defeating the terrorist organization ISIS, and this visit comes as a complement to the Iraqi Prime Minister's visit to Paris, to complete the discussion of files with a security and military dimension."
On Wednesday (July 19, 2023), the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, received the Minister of the French Armies, Sebastien Licorno, and his accompanying delegation.
According to a statement issued by Al-Sudani's office, which was received by "Baghdad Al-Youm", the meeting witnessed a discussion of bilateral relations between the two countries, and prospects for developing them at the security level, within the scope of the international coalition, and within the framework of advice and training to raise the performance of the Iraqi security forces, and an emphasis on continuing bilateral cooperation to continue training, cooperation in the field of armaments, and exchange of information.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister praised France's support for the Iraqi forces, referring to the (strategic partnership agreement) that was signed during his visit to France last January, which represents a clear action map for the development of Iraqi-French relations in the fields of economy, security, energy, culture, education, and others.
Al-Sudani stressed, according to the statement, that the government is working to organize the relationship with the international coalition in Iraq, in a way that is commensurate with the post-war phase against the terrorist gangs of ISIS, as this phase is witnessing a significant growth in the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces in their various types of military.
Armament file is present
Al-Sudani spoke about the government's interest in the issue of training and arming, and the desire to cooperate with French companies in this regard, especially in the field of air force, defense system and military industrialization, stressing that cooperation with France is not limited to the security aspect only, but also extends to several fields, in light of the availability of real opportunities for an enhanced partnership of integration between the two countries.
For his part, the French Minister of Armies conveyed the greetings of French President Emmanuel Macron to the Prime Minister, and affirmed the French government's readiness to cooperate with Iraq in the field of training, armament and capacity development. He also indicated the seriousness of his country's government in providing everything Iraq needs and developing real partnerships with it.
On Wednesday (July 19, 2023), an official source in the Kurdistan region stated that the French Defense Minister, Sebastien Licorno, will arrive in Erbil today, coming from the capital, Baghdad, to meet with officials in the region.
The source said in an interview with "Baghdad Today": that Licorno will visit Erbil, coming from the capital, Baghdad, through its international airport, and will hold a series of expanded meetings with the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, and the president of the region, Nechirvan Barzani.

Iraqi Defense Minister Thabet al-Abbasi said after his meeting at his ministry's headquarters in Baghdad with his French counterpart, Sebastien Licorne, in a tweet on "Twitter": I received the French Minister of Armies, Sebastien Licorne, where we held bilateral talks on regional security and joint cooperation between the two countries.
