He said there was a significant progress compared with 10 month ago when he was traveling here, adding security has improved dramatically and the Iraqi leaders have made progress in governing.

Yet, he pointed out that "it's clear there is still a number of major issues that need to be addressed."

Cheney made the trip three days ahead of the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war that falls on March 20.
