She added, “Iraq’s accession to the BRICS group, similar to the accession of Arab and regional countries, comes due to its utmost importance for the Iraqi economy in getting rid of the dominance of the US dollar and liberating the country from Washington’s financial and trade restrictions.”
She pointed out that “the BRICS group has become one of the most important economic blocs in the world, due to the growth figures achieved by the countries of this bloc over the years, which has made it the focus of attention of many other countries.”
