Swiss Embassy to reopen in Iraq after 30 years

Bern, Sep 3 (Prensa Latina) The Swiss Foreign Ministry informed on Tuesday that the country's diplomatic representation in Baghdad will resume work after more than 30 years of its closure.

The former Embassy was closed in 1991 amid the Gulf War, the Foreign Ministry website announced in a statement.

Bern aims to strengthen bilateral relations with Baghdad and deepen cooperation in the fields of economy, security, and migration matters.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry adds that the reopening of the embassy in Iraq has been long planned and is part of Switzerland’s foreign policy strategy in the Middle East and the North Africa region for the 2021-2024 period.
