Statement by the NATO Secretary General
on the Iraqi referendum

Background
NATO’s assistance to Iraq

I welcome the adoption of the Iraqi constitution. This is an important step in the political process in Iraq, to which there is no alternative. By casting their ballots, the Iraqi people have demonstrated their belief in the democratic process.

NATO will continue to support the Iraqi Government by training and equipping the Iraqi security forces, to help them to provide for the security of their country.
