The chief of the New Zealand Defence Force has met with his counterpart in Iraq's capital.
Lieutenant General Tim Keating visited Baghdad yesterday, with the main reason for the day long visit being to meet with Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Army, General Babakir Zebari.
He says they discussed the Iraqi Army's training schedule and the role of New Zealand soldiers when they soon start training Iraqi forces at the Taji Military Camp near Baghdad.
General Keating says General Babakir Zebari thanked New Zealand for providing valuable training assistance for his forces.
