The U.S. Consulate General in Erbil is thrilled to welcome back Ambassador Steven H. Fagin, who returns to Iraq as Chargé d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Many of us in Erbil fondly remember Ambassador Fagin as our Consul General from 2018 to 2020, when he worked to strengthen ties with the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. That experience will serve him well as he advances U.S. interests across all of Iraq, including the IKR. Congratulations, Ambassador Fagin, from all of us who had the privilege of working alongside you. We look forward to your continued leadership strengthening U.S. partnerships across the country.
