PM Reaffirms Iraq's Position That Rejects Its Lands Being An Arena For Others' Conflict
Baghdad / NINA /- Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani reaffirmed Iraq's position that rejects its lands being an arena for others' conflict.
A statement from his media office said that Al-Sudani participated, today, Sunday, in a dialogue symposium held by the Baghdad Institute for Dialogue, under the slogan (Regional Communication... The Centrality of Iraq), during which current topics and the course of Iraqi relations with neighboring countries and the world were discussed, and the most prominent positions in this regard were discussed.
At the beginning of his speech during the symposium, Al-Sudani pointed out the importance of these research institutions in decision-making, and their focus on facts away from confusion and prejudices, indicating that the government has set a primary goal for its work, which is to build trust with the Iraqi street, which is itself a standard for determining priorities in work.
On the security axis, Al-Sudani stressed that ISIS today represents a defeated organization. The recent operations of our armed forces have proven its inability to exist even in remote areas. If stability is achieved and the capabilities of our forces develop, they will strengthen the conviction of the possibility of ending the presence of the international coalition and moving towards bilateral relations.
Regarding the foreign relations axis, he stated that Iraq follows a balanced approach, staying away from alliances and axes, and is open to developing relations with everyone, and has the ability to communicate with them, and also has distinguished relations with the United States and Iran.
The Prime Minister reviewed the aggression against Gaza, recalling that the events did not begin last October 7, as much as they are the result of accumulations and years of occupation, oppression and displacement to which our Palestinian people were subjected, and that the root of the problem today lies in stopping the killing and ending this unjust aggression, as a way to contain the conflict and prevent it from expanding.
Al-Sudani reiterated Iraq’s position that rejects its territory being an arena for others’ conflict, pointing out the importance of intertwining interests in the region and the shift from political focus to economic focus.
He explained that the major strategic projects, such as the Development Road Project, will work to attract partnership and economic integration, and they reinforce the idea of Iraq by proposing an economic bloc, as previously proposed at the Arab Summit, as projects that fuel development and enhance integration between Arab countries./End
