ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will soon reopen its embassy in Iraqi capital, Baghdad’s ambassador to Islamabad Qays al-Yaqoubi said Monday.
Speaking to Geo News here, he said that Pakistan’s ambassador to Jordan had been making arrangements to reopen embassy in Baghdad and in this regard some progress was expected soon.
He expressed the hope that President Asif Ali Zardari would visit Iraq by end of May this year. He further said that re-opening of embassy would improve the bilateral ties between two Iraq and Pakistan.
good stuff. a lot of pakistanies go to Iraq, now they have the convenience of being mistreated and treated like crap there too :D
Yea bhai.
FYI, many Pakistanis, Indians, and BDeshis are already being treated like crap when they work in Iraq as cooks, truck drivers, and coolies. Even though there is no Pakistani embassy there.
Also the number of migrant workers in Iraq will depend on Iraqi Embassies in India, Pakistan, and BDesh.
Our region has its faults, some deep chasms of disaster, but Iraq?
Money, is there any better reason? And why Iraq, even the other gulf countries are not much better than our region. Sweltering heat, inhuman working conditions, cheating agents, lying companies and ******* arabs as a bonus!
Pakistanis in Iraq will be more safe than Pakistan
Westerner's are safe, if they travel in a motorcade with Presidential level security, and off course US soldiers are indeed safer , mostly they found in the Cafe's of Baghdad or playing football with Iraqi's in local clubs, right? :)

Now do the math and see which place is more dangerous…:rotfl:
Dispatching with you was a joke…
See unlike you, I back up my statements with facts and not nonsense…
I said that in 2009, Pakistan is more dangerous than Iraq....
Can you even read english or does that have to be translated for you?
Show me where you mentioned 2009 before my post. Get your facts right before trying to defend your beloved US without thinking. Again just list the number of people killed in Iraq by the liberators.
You made an incorrect statement and I challenged you and instead of admitting your mistake you come out with above. Hilarious as to how you will ignore facts which do not suit you.
