 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani announced the agreement of Iraq and Spain to strengthen partnership and cooperation between the two countries in various fields during a time limit.

He announced that “the meeting of the Iraqi-Spanish Joint Committee will be held in Baghdad in mid-2024.”
Al-Sudani pointed out that they “consulted in benefiting from the Spanish experience in water and solar energy management, and we invited Spain to participate in the Baghdad conference.”
He stressed that “the government is continuing to end the presence of the international coalition in Iraq,” noting that “targeting diplomatic missions is harms the interest of Iraq.”

“We are committed to supporting the stability of Iraq and we will make a joint declaration to define the areas with Iraq and we will hold a meeting of the joint committee in Baghdad,” he added.

“There is a desire for Spanish companies to contribute to the construction of Iraq and Gaza, which is in a tragic situation, and we refuse to target civilians in the Strip,” Sudani continued.

The Spanish prime minister called for “a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and Iraq, a country of civilizations, and we are honored to visit us to Baghdad and aspire to strengthen relations.”
