 Iraq’s Prime Minister Reaffirms Commitment to Stability, Prosperity and Progress on National Day, 3 OCT

Prime Minister’s Message on Iraq’s National Day

On the occasion of the National Day of Iraq, the Prime Minister conveyed a heartfelt message to the people of his country. He underscored the historical importance, cultural richness, and civilizational influence of Iraq, referring to it as a beacon of civilization to the world. He went on to reflect on the creation of the modern Iraqi state and its membership in the League of Nations, considering these as a continuation of its civilizational influence.

Promise of Progress Amid Challenges

The Prime Minister strongly asserted that Iraq will persist as a pillar of stability, security, and prosperity in the region and the world. He pledged to continue working towards the goal of enabling Iraq to progress on all fronts, overcoming all challenges. This commitment comes at a time when the nation is grappling with economic, health, and political issues. The promise to tackle these issues head-on reflects the government’s commitment to improving the lives of its citizens.

Rebuilding National Pride

In an attempt to restore some of the country’s shattered national pride, the Prime Minister expressed his intention to reintroduce National Day, which was abolished after the overthrow of the former dictatorship. The new proposed date for National Day, October 3, marks the day Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1932 and became the 57th member of the League of Nations. This decision, however, has elicited mixed responses from the public, with many citizens more concerned with the pressing social and economic challenges facing the country.

Addressing Pressing Issues

Despite the unstable political situation and severe economic crisis, the Prime Minister’s government is pressing ahead with plans to introduce the new public holiday. The government is also working on tackling sectarianism while promoting patriotism and nationalism as part of its reform program, as evidenced by the proposed new National Day. This commitment to national unity and progress, even amidst adversity, demonstrates the resilience of the Iraqi government and its dedication to the welfare of its people.
