NATO will resume its training mission in Iraq in the coming days or weeks, the alliance's top military commander said Friday, after activities were suspended following a US drone strike on Baghdad.
US General Tod Wolters said the 500-strong mission would restart its work after receiving assurances from the Iraqi government.
The mission was put on hold on January 4, and some NATO troops moved out of Iraq, amid fears of reprisal attacks after the US killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in the strike on Baghdad.
"As a result of the letter of response from Iraq over the course of the last 36 hours, we will now recommence the NATO Mission Iraq," Wolters told reporters at the Munich Security Conference.
Asked when this would happen, Wolters replied: "Soon. Days to weeks."
