Polish Embassy in Iraq to re-open soon

Foreign Ministry spokesman Bogusław Majewski has announced that the Baghdad Embassy is soon to re-open. He stressed that diplomats of the charge d'affaires level would soon be sent to Iraq and that the majority of them would be responsible for the Embassy's economic and commercial functions. Majewski stated, however, that the condition of the building in which Polish diplomats previously resided is still unknown. The decision to send back all the diplomats would also be dependent on the safety of Iraq, but according to the spokesman, the Embassy would be protected by an increased number of security measures.
