Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zeidi has confirmed the end of the international coalition mission in Iraq, according to a report by TASS.
Al-Zeidi said the conclusion of the mission marks the beginning of a new stage for the country, though the report did not elaborate on what that next stage would involve.
The international coalition, formed years ago to combat the Islamic State group, has maintained a presence in Iraq that has gradually been scaled back in recent years as security conditions have evolved.
TASS's report did not provide further details on the timeline for any remaining coalition personnel to depart Iraqi territory.
