All GD Jazz's use the same type of spark plug anywhere in the world.

Just the brand differs i.e NGK, Denso, Champion etc.....

I guess Iridium tipped spark plugs are either not required or recommended.

Currently I`m using NGK BKR6E-11 V-grooved (V-power) spark plugs but I already bought the new NGK Iridium ones, BKR6EIX-11. I`m going to fit them mid summer at 75000 miles.

"Iridium alloy chip allows reduction in centre electrode diameter as small as 0.4mm. This offers reduction in required voltage, a consistent spark position, reduction of quench effect more complete combustion and lower emissions. Often used in conjunction with platinum chip on ground electrode. Used in high stress, high performance engines. Some types, including all Iridium IX plugs also have a taper cut ground electrode to improve ignition quality further."
