The Iraqi Government is making encouraging strides in its efforts to curb violence in the country, the Defence Secretary Des Browne said on a visit to Basra on Tuesday 30 January 2007.
Mr. Browne began his visit to Iraq with a series of meetings in the capital Baghdad. He then landed in Basra where he paid tribute to the work of British troops involved in Operation Sinbad, a successful joint Multi National Forces and Iraqi Army reconstruction programme.
So far the operation has helped regenerate key infrastructure and civic services in Basra City whilst also providing valuable mentoring for the Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police Service.
