Dear Visitor,

It is my personal pleasure to welcome you to the homepage of the Permanent Mission of Iraq to the United Nations. I sincerely hope that you will find the site interesting, informative, and resourceful and that you will continue to visit us from time to time.

Since its inception, the website has expanded to provide more information relating to the policies, history, and culture of Iraq. I feel, that by providing you with knowledge in all three criteria you will be able to come to a better understanding of Iraq's aspirations and policies.

In launching the website, one of our main aims is to familiarize you with Iraq's activities at the United Nations by providing a series of updated statements delivered in major U.N. organs by Iraqi officials. Also, it is useful to note that we will continue to provide statements, press releases and other relevant information concerning Iraq's foreign policy issues at the United Nations and raise your awareness of the devastating impact of the sanctions that have plagued the people of Iraq for almost a decade.

I hope that our website will continue to be a tool of interactive communications. We are proud to be part of the 'U.N. Cyberspace."

Thank you for visiting.
Ambassador Mohammed Aldouri
Permanent Representative of Iraq to the United Nations
