The UN special envoy to Iraq Ad Melkert expressed "cautious optimism"

about economic and governmental improvements in Iraq in a briefing

to the Security Council Tuesday.

"In most I have witnessed in Iraq, there is ground for cautious

optimism, provided there is determined leadership within the country

and strong cooperation in the region with Iraq," said UN envoy Ad

Melkert.

"In departure from decades of authoritarian regime, negotiations

between all parties have been now the predominant feature of life.

Parliament is taking an increasingly important role in decision making”,

he said.

Melkert concluded by insisting that Iraq's "sustainable engagement by

the international community" is needed to help the country reach its

"vast potential."
