3 October (RFE/RL) -
Iraq's President Jalal Talabani is due to arrive in
the Czech Republic today at the start of a European
tour.
During his two-day visit, Talabani will meet in
Prague with President Vaclav Klaus, Prime Minister
Jiri Paroubek, and other senior officials.
The Czech CTK news agency says Talabani is expected
to urge greater Czech involvement in Iraq. Earlier
this year, Iraqi ambassador to Prague Dhia Mahmud
Dabas said that Iraq has had historical relations
with the Czech Republic and wanted to continue to
develop bilateral economic cooperation.
Iraqi police, diplomats, and judges are currently
receiving training in the Czech Republic and in
Iraq, there is a Czech contingent of military
police.
