INA – BAGHDAD

PM Muhammed S. Al-Sudani confirmed on Tuesday that Washington is a major partner for Iraq and that the government is working to build “a stable institutional relationship”, noting that it is determined to create a new Iraq based on its cultural heritage.

“Iraq has a special way of dealing with the will to survive. The Iraqi citizen is one of the most self-confident personalities, and cannot be subject to any party,” said the Prime Minister in an interview with the “Elaph” online newspaper – followed by the Iraqi News Agency – INA.

Al-Sudani pointed out that “portraying Iraq as subordinate to any country contradicts the historical character of the country,” stressing that “the relationship between Iraq and the United Kingdom has a uniquely special way to deal with it.”

“Baghdad is working to build a stable institutional relationship with Washington. The United States remains a major partner for Iraq. We are committed to a policy of openness and true partnership,” he added.

He stressed, saying: “Today, we are facing a new phase in our relationship with the United Kingdom, and Iraq plays a pivotal role as an effective mediator between various regional parties. Baghdad has become a center for calm dialogue that aims to bridge the gap between the parties.”

Al-Sudani pointed out that “Riyadh is a key partner in the Iraqi economic equation. The electrical connection with Saudi Arabia is not just a technical project, but a step towards achieving long-term economic integration,” stressing that “the country is moving confidently towards institutional reform.”
