PARIS --The withdrawal of U.S.-led multinational forces from Iraq should not be rushed, Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid said, adding that the date of the exit should be decided jointly by Baghdad and the countries contributing to the coalition force.

"There is some understanding that by next year, their task will be finished," Rashid told Nikkei during his visit to Davos, Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum.
