UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash today reiterated his country's unwavering support for the international coalition in combating Dae'sh. In a statement today, he said that the United Arab Emirates would continue backing the international coalition. 

The minister noted that while Iraqi forces are making progress in the bid to defeat Daesh, the government in Baghdad should step its efforts and cooperation in order to counter it. In the press conference, Dr. Gargash said that the UAE stance position has always been clear in calling for a political action in Baghdad, stressing the need to include rather exclude Sunnis. 

Dr. Gargash said: "The UAE maintains an unwavering position on supporting the forces fighting Daesh. I am not talking about thousands of troops, but I am talking about troops that back the forces fighting on the ground, if the Global Coalition believes that the U.S. should take on the leadership in this effort."
