of the EU High Representative for the CFSP
and the EU Presidency
Javier SOLANA and Jack STRAW
welcome the Iraq constitutional referendum
Following their meeting on 17 October, Javier Solana, EU
High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security
Policy (CFSP), and Jack Straw, UK Foreign Secretary, as
EU Presidency, welcomed the Iraq Referendum:
"This is another historic step for the Iraqi people.
There appears to have been an encouraging turnout across
Iraq in Saturday's referendum on a draft Constitution.
It is a great tribute to the developing strength of
popular democracy in Iraq that this poll took place
smoothly and remarkably peacefully." |
