UK and Iraq to increase co-operation on combating drug trafficking and terrorism
Tom Tugendhat has pledged more UK support for Iraq to help combat drug production and trafficking.
In a visit to Baghdad on Monday, the Security Minister said British officials “want to build on our strong counter-terrorism co-operation” and expand the countries’ security relationship to “identify and address shared serious organised crime threats” including “human smuggling, trafficking, narcotics and money laundering that work together as a criminal network that undermines the entire state of Iraq”.
