BAGHDAD, Iraq (NINA) - Osama al-Nujaifi, vice-president of the republic, discussed with Christopher Langman, Australian ambassador to Iraq, issues of mutual interest and Australian efforts to support Iraq. Nujaifi, during the meeting, pointed to the heroic efforts of the Iraqi armed forces in the liberation of Mosul, despite the excessive use of firepower by some of these devices, resulting in the loss of innocent civilians. Al-Nujaifi called on Australia to provide more support to Iraq to face the circumstances of the war and what was left by the criminal organization (Daesh). Pointed out that "The efforts to restore life to the left side of Mosul are face by the inability of the local government to deal with a major task, lack of possibilities, so it takes time and support from the international community. " He continued: "The post-Daesh requires the emergence of absent political solutions, and building confidence measures, in a manner that achieves equality and the principle of citizenship." For his part, the Australian ambassador said: "Australia provides air support to Iraq in the fight against terrorism, and is working on training the police, and was allocated $ 110 million spent over three years to support the reconstruction of what was destroyed by Daesh." / End
