In this seminar we stress the Iraqi perspective on European and US-American #security engagement in #Iraq. What does Iraq need from its European and US-American allies to succeed in protecting its people and securing its territorial integrity? How can #Europe and the #US continue to contribute to the capacity building of the Iraqi security sector? What are the common interests that would allow for a wider strategic partnership Baghdad-Brussels-Washington to ensure security, stability and a geopolitical balance? What could be the EU's input to the region – especially in light of the prospective results of the current US-Iraqi strategic dialogue? Is #Brussels prepared to take on greater responsibility?
