French President Emmanuel Macron had earlier visited Iraq’s northern city of Mosul. The region suffered widespread destruction during the war to defeat the Islamic State (IS) group in 2017.
During the visit, Macron said IS did not differentiate between people’s religion and nationality when it came to killing, noting that the extremists killed many Muslims.
“We will do whatever we can, shoulder to shoulder, with the governments of the region and with the Iraqi government to fight against this terrorism”
Macron made the commitment for France to stay in Iraq during a regional summit in Baghdad.
The summit was largely devoted to the fight against terrorism and the impact of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan as the US withdraws.
“No matter what choices the Americans make, we will maintain our presence in Iraq to fight against terrorism,”
