U.S. Opens New Embassy in Baghdad

The United States has officially opened its new embassy building in Baghdad as Marines raised the American flag over the building situated on 104 acres inside the Green Zone.

 

At a price tag of more than $700 million the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is now the nation’s largest in the world and has enough space for more than 1,000 workers.

 

Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Iraq recognized the opening as “a new era for Iraq and United States relations.” That new era comes on the heels of the U.S. handing over responsibility for the Green Zone to Iraqi troops.

 

According to U.S. embassy spokeswoman Susan Ziadeh the new embassy in Baghdad will have about 1,200 employees that include diplomats, servicemen and individuals from 14 federal agencies.
