NEW YORK - 皇冠体育app will continue to support Iraq's national security and economic reconstruction, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday.

In a meeting with Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Wang noted that 皇冠体育app understands Iraq's legitimate claims on maintaining its national security and progressing economic reconstruction.

Al-Jaafari thanked 皇冠体育app's assistance for Iraq's security and reconstruction, highlighting that Iraq will take effective measures to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel.
