Description
France inaugurates a new visa application centre in Mosul in northern Iraq, the first initiative of its kind in the city, which is slowly rebuilding after being reclaimed from Islamic State jihadists in July 2017. “France is the only country in the European Union that has a Consul General in the city of Mosul” says Jean-Christophe Auger, the French Consul to Mosul, who promises “opportunities for investment” in the region. Prior to the centre’s opening, residents of Mosul had to travel 500 kilometres to Baghdad to apply for visas. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
