Ukraine welcomes the results of the international conference on peace and security in Iraq, held on September 15 in Paris.

Our state supports efforts of the new Iraqi government aimed at strengthening the rule of law, inclusiveness of all political forces within the federal institutions of power and uncompromised fight against manifestations of terror.

Ukraine, which itself is currently fighting decisively against the terror supported from outside and is rebuffing the direct aggression, shares the provisions of the final communiqué of the conference which defines the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant as a threat not only to Iraq but also to the entire international community.

We express our solidarity with the conference participants and welcome steps identified in Paris, which are aimed at creation of a broad international coalition for stabilization of the overall situation in the region.
