“These events confirm the vitality of the city of Baghdad and the government’s plans for openness and the size of stability throughout the country,” Al-Sudani said, stressing that “most Arab and foreign delegations come with an impression, and leave with a completely different impression; because of the confused images reported by some media about Iraq.”
He added that “his government was formed in circumstances that witnessed the reluctance of some to participate in the elections and the decline of confidence in the political system,” pointing out that “the government program was prepared to be viable in order to enhance citizen confidence in the government, and advanced percentages have been achieved in its implementation and achieving its targets.”
According to the statement, the symposium discussed “several axes, most notably the sustainability of stability in Iraq, achieving sustainable development, addressing poverty and unemployment, economic axes, as well as Iraq’s regional and international relations, and the achievements and goals achieved in these fields.”
