UK foreign secretary does not support division of Iraq
Politics, International
British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett asserted yesterday that she does not support any plans to divide Iraq. She said: "It is not useful to discuss such plans." She added that "the current Iraqi government is a national unity government and we must support and help it", instead of talking about plans to divide the country. Beckett was speaking at a brief news conference that she held for London-based correspondents from the Middle East, the first since she took office.
