UK Defence Secretary Des Browne is visiting the Iraqi city of Basra.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed Mr Browne was on a "general visit" to the country, but declined to say how long he would be there.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown went to the UK base in Basra, in the south of the country, last November.
There are currently about 4,000 UK troops in the area. The Iraqi government took responsibility for Basra province's security in December.
Have you ever noticed how many Brownes there are in the UK government. Currently there are a lot of troops over in Iraq from the UK, maybe this is the beginning of a with drawl.
