President of University of Baghdad stressed to overcome the obstacles that would hinder the process of constructive academic work between the two countries, confirming the readiness of University of Baghdad to reopen the department of Italian language at the college of languages as soon as possible since there is a specialized teaching staff whereby the Italian ambassador has shown the Italian government’s eagerness to help Iraq by various means in light of facilitating the task of postgraduate students in completing their studies and opening the doors of Italian universities to them. Ambassador Carnelos stated that “We are delighted to visit University of Baghdad and we have the desire to support the Iraqi infrastructure to open the initial and postgraduate studies at the University of Baghdad”. The Italian ambassador also expressed his readiness to support antiquities sector in Iraq because Rome had specialized technical cadres in this field.
