Iraq’s national security advisor receives an invitation to visit Brussels for NATO talks

NATO’s Deputy Secretary General for Operations, Thomas Goffus, on Tuesday stressed that the alliance’s support to the Iraqi forces is focused on advisory and training initiatives, not on engaging in combat.

The NATO officer’s remarks were delivered during a virtual meeting with Qasim al-Araji, the National Security Advisor of Iraq, and General Giovanni Maria Iannucci, the Commander of the NATO Mission in Iraq.
