The top American military officer said yesterday that any agreement to keep US forces in Iraq past a 2011 deadline would be reached only after Iraqi officials form a new government, a laborious process that began after parliamentary elections in March.

After meeting with Nouri al-Maliki, Admiral Mike Mullen congratulated Iraq’s prime minister for what he called steady progress to build a government representing Iraq’s diverse ethnic and religious groups. Maliki will lead that government after months of horse-trading and political paralysis. He must announce the nation’s new leaders by Dec. 25 under a deadline required by Iraq’s constitution.

“He’s the prime minister, he’s got to work though some of these details and he’s doing it,’’ Mullen told reporters during a Christmas season visit with troops.

Until now, the Ministry of Finance issued Circular No 186/2010/TT-BTC on November 18 providing guidelines on remittance of profit overseas by foreign organisations and individuals deriving profit from direct investment in Viet Nam. It finally replaces Circular No. 124/2004/TT-BTC issued under the old Law on Foreign Investment back in 2004.
