On December 16, 2024, the Republic of Iraq and Ukraine will commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the official establishment of diplomatic relations, yet indeed, the relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries date back to the sixties of the last century. These relations are continually developing in various fields and have strengthened considerably since Ukraine's independence on August 24, 1991, as, since the official opening of its headquarters in the capital, Kyiv, on June 22, 2009, the Embassy has been keen to enhance cooperation in the political, economic, cultural and other fields, that serves the common interests. Despite the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war on February 24, 2022, the Iraqi Embassy continued to perform its diplomatic duties in Ukraine and to care for the interests of the local Iraqi community.
