Baghdad / NINA / Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed: "Iraq's relations with the United States are institutional according to the strategic framework agreement."

Al-Sudani said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo: "We have communication with Trump's team and they want to develop relations with us."

Regarding Iraq's relations with Spain, he explained: "We are facing a distinguished stage in relations with Spain and there is a mutual desire to develop and advance them in all fields," adding: "Spain is part of the international coalition that helped us eliminate the terrorist ISIS, and based on our request, the mission of the international coalition will end within two years due to the lack of justification for its existence."

He said: "There are Spanish companies in Iraq, especially in the railway and transportation sector, and we are keen to have more companies for their efficiency and experience in implementing projects. We will sign several memoranda of understanding with Spain and there is a financial ceiling of 200 million euros to one billion euros to cover projects implemented by the Iraqi and Spanish private sectors."

He pointed out that a railway project worth 250 million dollars was referred to a Spanish company, and negotiations are underway with another Spanish company on a high-speed train project between the governorates of Najaf and Karbala.

Regarding the situation in Iraq, Al-Sudani said: "The capabilities of our security services have reached an advanced stage and there is political stability that has been reflected in the general situation of the country."

Regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon, the Prime Minister described the agreement as an important event, expressing his hope that it will include the Gaza Strip to reflect on the stability of the region.

He continued: "Our laws stipulate non-recognition of the Zionist entity, and the Palestinians are the owners of the land and the cause, and they are the ones who decide the formula for the solution to their cause." / End 2   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=1171569
