 PARLIAMENTARY ACCUSATIONS AGAINST AMERICA OF STANDING AGAINST THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE, 6 DEC

Today, Monday, the head of the Parliamentary Rights Bloc, Saud Al-Saadi, accused the United States of America of standing against the completion of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Al-Saadi said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “There is an American desire not to complete the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative agreement with Iraq.”

He added, “America stands against the Iraqi government’s efforts to develop its economy and move towards strategic projects.” Al-Saadi confirmed, “China is present in Iraq at some level of initiatives, such as schools, oil sectors, or the energy sector.”

He pointed out that “the United States of America prevents in any way the signing of a comprehensive framework agreement with China at the level of the Belt and Road Initiative inside Iraq.”
