Buratha News Agency1052025-04-16 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed on Wednesday (April 16, 2025) that Iraq needs bold and comprehensive reforms, emphasizing the need for the outcomes of reform to be directed towards the poor and marginalized groups.
In his speech during the ninth Sulaymaniyah Forum, held at the American University of Sulaymaniyah, al-Sudani stated that “Iraq is ready to be a reliable partner and an effective contributor to strengthening regional stability,” noting that “the true value of any reform lies in reaching marginalized groups and saving them from poverty.”
He added that "the government has embarked on implementing the highest production plan to build new power plants, in addition to entering into solar and renewable energy projects for the first time," warning against the use of political rhetoric to defame and distort facts related to government performance.
The forum was widely attended by local and international political,
economic, and academic figures, including former President Barham Salih, who emphasized in his opening remarks that "the current situation regarding negotiations between the United States and Iran presents the region with a historic opportunity to achieve stability and a dignified life for its people."
He explained that our region has long suffered from wars and violence, and that the time has come to move to a new reality through dialogue and understanding to build a better future.
The Sulaymaniyah Forum, held this year in its ninth edition at the American University of Iraq, Sulaymaniyah, is one of the most prominent intellectual and political events, bringing together decision-makers and researchers from inside and outside Iraq to discuss pivotal issues related to politics, economics, and regional and international security. https://burathanews.com/arabic/news/458900
