Blaskhart sends a message on the occasion of the end of its work in Iraq
The United Nations (UNAMI) envoy for Iraq, Jeanine Hennes-Plaschart, on Tuesday (May 28, 2024) sent a letter marking the end of her tenure in the country.
“As my tenure as Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Iraq draws to an end, I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation to all Iraqis, especially those I have met and worked with,” Plasskhartt said in her letter, according to a statement to the UNAMI mission, which was received by “Baghdad Today.”
“Over the past five years, I have been repeatedly influenced by the generosity and hospitality of a people who have never strayed from their traditions of welcoming the stranger or helping the needy, even at the expense of their comfort or time, and I have learned a lot of listening to Iraqi women and men as they proudly recount their history,” she added.
She pointed out that “although many faced serious challenges, the optimism for the coming days was always bright. They welcomed me and my other colleagues at the United Nations to their cities and homes, and invited us to share them in a meal or event and did not miss an opportunity to highlight Iraq’s rich culture and enormous beauty, and throughout the country, including the Kurdistan Region, countless people of all ages spontaneously shared, again and again, their hopes and aspirations. And I won’t forget any of them.”
“I also truly appreciate the professional meetings and discussions we have had with a wide range of partners, from civil society representatives, academics, clan leaders and religious leaders to local authorities, provincial authorities, national authorities, judges and security and political officials. Needless to say, their views and perspectives have taught us a lot and guided our work,” she continued.
Blaskhart pointed out that “some of these meetings included people who put daily differences aside to find solutions in the critical stages of Iraq, all of these interactions have left an indelible impact inside. And of course, I cannot exaggerate our gratitude to the various organs of the Iraqi government, which facilitated our work, through tireless efforts, and protected the staff and operations of the United Nations.”
“None of that means the UN has been immune to criticism – some of which has been justified, some simply based on misconceptions about who we are, what we can and cannot do,” she stressed. But talking to those who understand the values of the organization and what it stands has been very productive. As I have said many times, the UN does not have a magic wand. Ultimately, the balance between conflict and peace, or poverty and prosperity, depends on the political will of the nations. But if we can make a difference in people’s lives, it’s worth intensifying up work and keep trying. Ultimately, the UN has one key priority at its core: to promote peace and prosperity for all – regardless of affiliation, religion, background or race.”
Blaskhart concluded her message by saying, “Once again I would like to express my deep appreciation and thanks to the kind cooperation and support provided to the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the wider United Nations family in Iraq and to me personally. Long live Iraq.”

Benefits to the VND from BRICS Membership
Vietnam’s potential membership in the BRICS+ alliance marks a significant milestone in its global economic status.
This development comes as the country continues to strengthen its economic ties with major global powers and emerges as a key player in the international arena.
Overview of Vietnam’s Economic Growth
Vietnam’s economy has been one of the fastest-growing in the world, characterized by robust GDP growth, increasing foreign direct investment, and expanding industrial sectors.
Its strategic location, coupled with a young and dynamic workforce, has attracted numerous multinational corporations seeking to diversify their supply chains. This economic boom positions Vietnam as a prime candidate for inclusion in influential global groups like BRICS+.
Insights from the Recent High-Level Talks
During a recent visit to Vietnam, Dr. YKOVLEV ARTEM ALEXANDROVICH, Director of the Center for Russian Strategy in Asia, engaged in discussions with the Vietnamese Prime Minister.
The talks focused on potential economic collaborations between Vietnam and the Russian Federation and explored the feasibility of expanding BRICS membership to include Vietnam.
Dr. Alexandrovich emphasized the resilience of the Russian economy despite extensive sanctions and highlighted the strategic partnerships Russia has forged with China and other Asian countries.
He noted that these alliances have been instrumental in sustaining economic growth and stability. The discussions underscored the mutual benefits that Vietnam’s inclusion in BRICS+ would bring, aligning with the shared objectives of fostering economic cooperation and development.
Strategic Importance of BRICS+ Expansion
BRICS represents a coalition of emerging economies with significant global influence. The proposed expansion under the BRICS+ model aims to include other rapidly growing economies, enhancing the group’s geopolitical and economic clout.
Vietnam’s inclusion would not only bolster its own economic ambitions but also contribute to the collective strength of BRICS+.
Dr. Alexandrovich highlighted that the expansion of BRICS is crucial for reshaping the global geopolitical and geo-economic landscape, promoting a multipolar world order.
When asked if Vietnam would be a good candidate to join BRICS, Dr. Alexandrovich replied, “Vietnam’s economic trajectory aligns well with the goals of BRICS+, making it a valuable addition to the alliance.”
This membership would open up new avenues for trade, investment, and technological collaboration, benefiting all member countries.
Future Prospects for Vietnam within BRICS+
As Vietnam prepares to join BRICS+, the country stands to gain significantly from increased access to markets, resources, and technology from other member nations.
This membership would accelerate Vietnam’s economic growth, enhance its global trade relations, and provide a platform for greater influence in international economic policies.
Furthermore, Vietnam’s participation in BRICS+ aligns with its long-term strategic goals of diversifying economic partnerships and reducing dependency on any single market. By joining forces with other emerging economies, Vietnam can strengthen its position in global value chains and contribute to shaping the future of international economic governance.
Key Benefits to the VND from BRICS Membership
Today, the expanded BRICS+ nations collectively represent over 40% of the world’s population and around 25% of global GDP.
Stabilized Exchange Rate: As part of BRICS+, Vietnam could benefit from a more stable Vietnamese Dong (VND). The economic collaboration within the bloc, including trade settlements in local currencies, could reduce Vietnam’s reliance on the US dollar, leading to less volatility in the VND exchange rate.
Stronger Financial Support: Vietnam would have access to financial resources from the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB). This can help support infrastructure projects and other development initiatives without the stringent conditions often imposed by Western financial institutions. Enhanced financial stability and support can bolster investor confidence in the VND.
Enhanced Foreign Exchange Reserves: Trade within the BRICS+ framework can lead to increased foreign exchange reserves for Vietnam. As trade grows, so does the inflow of foreign currencies, which can help stabilize and strengthen the VND.
Increased Investment: Membership in BRICS+ can attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam. Investors often view membership in such influential groups as a sign of economic stability and growth potential. Increased FDI can further strengthen the economy and, consequently, the VND.
The Bottom Line
Vietnam’s anticipated entry into the BRICS+ alliance signals a pivotal moment in its economic evolution.
The country’s impressive growth, strategic partnerships, and alignment with BRICS+ objectives position it as a key player in this expanding coalition.
As BRICS+ continues to shape the global economic landscape, Vietnam’s membership promises to bring mutual benefits, drive collective prosperity for all member nations, and enhance the stability and strength of the Vietnamese Dong.

"IRAQ CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BIG HAPPENINGS" BY JON DOWLING, 28 MAY

Iraq continues to move forward with big happenings. We need to keep hearing from the ministry of planning, as they’re the ones to set the REAL rate in the private sector!
Ignore this rumor of Iraq making a $100k note. Not true at all. These are haters within Iraq aka Iranian proxies trying to drive people out if the Dinar. Don’t help them. Sane with the loser trolls who can’t stand this is happening and that we are winning. Hold the line everyone! We’re waiting in Israel to do their final part as Iraq is ready to go. The budget is passed and implemented already. They can do this in twenty four hours no problem.

Jon Dowling: Tax cuts, aka income tax removal and debt relief, aka debt forgiveness. Sounds like Gesara and Nesara to me! BRICS getting stronger by the day! Iraq is now in the WTO, they just need to make the official announcement.✅
