Sheikh Hamoudi: Iraq is on the verge of forming a new, strong government with a balanced vision
The head of the Supreme Islamic Council, Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, confirmed on Thursday that Iraq is on the verge of forming a new, strong government with a balanced vision.
A statement issued by the Supreme Islamic Council, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated that "the President of the Supreme Islamic Council, Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, received the Japanese Ambassador to Baghdad, Akira Endo, and they discussed developments in the region, their global impact, the danger of the Zionist presence, the trends of the political process in Iraq, and opportunities to enhance cooperation between the two countries."
The statement added that, during the meeting, Sheikh Hamoudi stressed that “(Israel) is a rogue, extremist entity that does not believe in dialogue at all,” calling on the countries of the region to bear responsibility for their security with an integrated economic security vision,” noting “the need for Japan to take its role in building understandings in the Middle East, given its influence and being influenced by events.”
Sheikh Hamoudi stressed "Iraq's keenness not to be a party to the region's conflicts but rather to its stability, especially as it is about to form a new, strong government with a balanced vision and open to everyone," calling on "Japan to seize investment opportunities and expand its presence in Iraq."ink
