This used to be printed underneath the 2016 to 2019 Would possibly Conservative executive
Commenting at the referendum being held within the Kurdish Area of Iraq, Overseas Secretary Boris Johnson mentioned:
The United Kingdom does now not make stronger this referendum and continues to again the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq. We consider that any referendum must be agreed with the Govt of Iraq.
With our global allies, we proposed another plan which might have observed negotiations happen between the Govt of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Govt to handle all problems with dispute. This choice would have given the chance for the aspirations of the Kurdish other folks to be met. It’s regrettable that part of the Kurdish management rejected the proposal.
The long-term safety and prosperity of Iraq and Iraqis can best be met thru discussion and cooperation. I encourage each side to chorus from provocative statements and movements within the aftermath of the referendum. The concern will have to stay the defeat of Daesh and returning steadiness to liberated spaces.
