| Description | Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari on Thursday estimated that the Iraqi-US security arrangements will be finalized before the end of July and therefore the Multi National Force (MNF) in Iraq will not be needed beyond December 31 of this year when its mandate expires.
"We hope that we'll reach this agreement before the end of July," Zebari told KUNA following a meeting with the Arab Group to explain the role of the Multi National Force (MNF) in Iraq.
Zebari is in New York to address the Security Council tomorrow Friday as it renews for six months, and supposedly for the last time, the US-led MNF mandate in Iraq whose mandate expires on December 31 of this year.
However, if the arrangements are not in place by the end of July, Zebari hinted in a letter to the council yesterday that the MNF will have to remain in Iraq beyond December.
