Iraqi PM Jaafari makes a point as he speaks to reporters in Tokyo
Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari makes a point as he speaks to reporters at the Japan National Press Club in Tokyo December 6, 2005, wrapping up a two-day visit. Iraq wants multinational forces to stay until it has built up a military that is capable of maintaining security in the country, Jaafari said. Jaafari urged Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi during talks on Monday to keep in place Japanese non-combat troops in southern Iraq, saying that it was too early for a withdrawal.
