Switzerland has reopened its embassy in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, 33 years after closing its previous representation in the country due to the 1991 Gulf War.
The Swiss Foreign Ministry disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, saying that security situation has improved to such a degree after years of conflict that it is now safe to again have a presence in Iraq.
According to the statement, Iraq is playing an increasingly important role as a bridge-builder and mediator in the Middle East and one of the aims of the embassy is to strengthen bilateral relations.
“In recent years, Iraq has repeatedly campaigned for peace and security in the region,” it said.
It says with its energy resources and economic diversification, Iraq offers interesting long-term export and investment opportunities for Swiss companies.”
