WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Denmark will also financially support stabilization efforts in Iraq, while Finland will contribute up to 100 training staff in the fall of 2016 and provide $29 million for humanitarian relief in Syria.

Norway will continue its anti-Daesh contributions and will deploy a contingent of around 60 soldiers to train Syrian local forces. Meanwhile, Sweden will send military trainers in Iraq and spend $200 million in development assistance to Syria.

"Denmark will redeploy F16 fighter jets, a C-130J transport aircraft, and make additional troop contributions, including special operation forces, for operations in Iraq and Syria," the statement said.
