US opens embassy in Basra


 Share

Recommended Posts

Erbil, July 5 (AKnews) – The US Ambassador to Iraq Jeffry Filtman officially opened the US consulate in the oil-rich southern port city of Basra today.

It had previously been a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) office.

At the opening ceremony, Filtman stressed the shared commitment to freedom and democracy.

Biber Kamble was officially assigned the US consul general in Basra. The consulate will also be responsible for the provinces of Mithan, Thiqar and al-Muthanna.

The U.S. is preparing to withdraw its troops at the end of the year, but will keep thousands of State Department staff in the country, in what will be that largest embassy team in the world.
