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) ahh.rk KUNA 250006 Jan 10NNNN
