An incredible 2 years in Iraq. On to new adventures. Many thanks to friends, colleagues and the wonderful Iraqi people for making my time unforgettable.
عامان جميلان في العراق. والآن أبدأ فصلاً جديداً من مسيرتي. شكراً للأصدقاء والزملاء والشعب العراقي الكريم على الذكريات.

@WhiteHouse The US team played an amazing game. Goaltending was as good as I’ve ever seen in playing / watching hockey for decades. Congrats to #USAHockey.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
On Monday, The Canadian Ambassador @CDBoehm, has joined the Kurdistan Trails Organization (Zagros Mountain Trail) team for a walk. We explored opportunities for collaboration in peacebuilding, community engagement, and conflict resolution.

A warm welcome from @IKRPresident and a very fruitful discussion. We will continue to build upon this outstanding relationship particularly in the commercial and economic realms.
A pleasure meeting again with the Canadian Ambassador to #Iraq, @CDBoehm. We exchanged views on the current political situation and recent regional developments, and discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation between the #Kurdistan Region and #Canada. @CanadainIraq
Met with Canadian Ambassador Christopher Boehm @CanadainIraq and we held fruitful discussions on regional developments and political dynamics. We agreed to deepen our bilateral economic and diplomatic ties and cooperation.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians. This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law.
Canada calls on all sides to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in good faith. We reiterate our calls for Hamas to immediately release all the hostages, and for the Israeli government to respect the territorial integrity of the West Bank and Gaza.
Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.
