The Dutch Ministry of defence has decided to resume its military training mission in Kurdistan and Iraq, as stated by ANC Minister Bijleveld.

On Friday, Minister Bijleveld informed her country's Parliament of the resumption of exercises for Peshmerga forces in Kurdistan and Iraqi forces.

There are about 50 Dutch soldiers in Kurdistan training Peshmerga forces to prepare for the ongoing battles against is.
