Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has been scheduled to meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, on the absence of a Nigerian mission in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The Speaker\u2019s decision followed a concern raised by the Iraqi Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Anwer Saeed Aljabali, during his courtesy call on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Abbas, who expressed surprise that Nigeria does not currently have a mission in Iraq where her citizens could run to for help, said he would take up the matter with Tuggar with a view to addressing the matter.<\/p>\n

According to the Speaker, Iraq is an important country in the community of nations, which is why efforts must be made to make the Nigerian mission in that country operational.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to assure you that we will take this matter up. I will meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to find ways of resolving the issues so that the Nigerian Mission in Iraq will be open once again,\u201d the Speaker said.<\/p>\n

Abbas also informed the Iraqi ambassador that the 10th House has established a Parliamentary Friendship Group that would relate with the Iraqi parliament for better cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are serious about parliamentary relations with parliaments around the world. That is why we created the Parliamentary Friendship Group with the Parliament of Iraq. The chairman of the committee will meet you in due course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
