The EU wants to support more trade and investment with Iraq. That was my key message during my meeting with H.E. Dr. Mustafa Nizar Juma Al-Ani.

Fruitful exchange with @TalabaniAla. We discussed how to better support Iraqi women in advancing the country, from womenโ€˜s engagement in the private sector to equal access to digital spaces. @EUinIraq is ready to work together to address barriers that women still face everyday.
