"It was an honor to meet in London today with a distinguished group of Iraqi officials, led by Dr. Faiq Zaidan, President of the Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq, for an important exchange on the future of U.S.-Iraq relations. At a historic moment for our two nations and the region, we have an opportunity to build on the foundations of a longstanding partnership and chart an ambitious path forward.
"From judicial cooperation and the strengthening of the rule of law to energy and investment, economic development, institutional partnerships, security, and regional stability, the possibilities are immense. Strong, independent judicial institutions and deeper cooperation between our legal systems are essential to building confidence, advancing the rule of law, and securing a more prosperous future. Together, we can help unlock Iraq's extraordinary potential, deepen the bonds between our peoples, and build a future defined by shared prosperity, opportunity, and lasting peace for generations to come. The United States looks forward to continuing this important work alongside our Iraqi partners."
