AMMAN — Iraq cooperates with Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to secure borders as part of the post-Daesh security plan, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Iraqi Interior Minister Qasim Al Araji on Monday said that this phase, which follows the defeat of Daesh terror group, requires activating the role of intelligence to control the borders, stressing the importance of cooperation with Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
He added that 2018 will be the year of supporting border guards, intelligence and cooperating to combat terrorism.
Reports said this week that Iraqi forces were hunting remnants of the terror group in the western desert near Jordan border, with officials urging support from the international coalition to eliminate the remaining terrorists after their major defeats in Mosul and other towns.
