Employees of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) working in Iraq and in the Iraq Group in London work to the objective laid out in the FCO's middle east and North Africa Directorate's business plan:
“to support the continued development of a strong, stable, non-hostile and broadly democratic Iraq, which respects international law, denies terrorists a safe haven and contributes to stable world energy markets; and to deliver transition to a normalised, substantive bilateral relationship which advances UK commercial, consular, migration, energy and CT (Counter Terrorism) interests.”
