This question was answered on 24th June 2015
We welcome the commitments that Prime Minister al-Abadi has made to reaching out to all of Iraq’s communities, including the Sunni community, and delivering the reforms needed to secure a meaningful political settlement. Prime Minister al-Abadi has already taken some important steps in this regard, including appointing the most inclusive government that Iraq has seen for a decade, securing an important revenue sharing deal with the Kurdistan Regional government and building cross-party support for the 2015 budget. We will continue to support Prime Minister al-Abadi as he works to progress political reconciliation and a unified response to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
