The National
US-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) recognized Iraq’s Fareed Yasseen as
its 2021 “Ambassador of the Year” during a Dec. 14 awards ceremony and
luncheon at Washington’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
The event, which
attracted 150 people, including 20 current and former ambassadors.
“Look around you,”
Yasseen told his audience. “You will find not only members of the
business community, but also elected officials, current and former
government officials, diplomats, academics, researchers, human rights
activists, journalists, and friends, including a couple of my Baghdad
College classmates. I don’t blush, and I am not easily humbled, but this
turnout is truly humbling.”
Yasseen noted that
three of his colleagues have received NUSACC’s “Ambassador of the Year”
award in past years: Algeria’s Madjid Bouguerra, Jordan’s Dina Kawar and
Tunisia’s Faisal Gouia.
“The United States
and the Republic of Iraq have traveled a long road together over the
years,” said David Hamod, NUSACC’s president & CEO, in praising
Yasseen. “He has skillfully and strategically built partnerships between
Iraq and America that will serve our respective countries for decades to
come.”
