 Iraqi Council of Ministers Advancing Economic Growth, Strengthening Bilateral Relations and Addressing Major Challenges

Decisive Session of the Iraqi Council of Ministers

The 26th Regular Session of the Iraqi Council of Ministers was recently held, chaired by Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani. The session was significant as it was centered on the overall situation of the country, reviewing the progress of the government’s program, and making crucial decisions that would shape Iraq’s future.

Prime Minister Al-Sudani underlined the importance of the next six months for the government, especially in the wake of the recent approval of the three-year Federal Budget Bill. He urged ministries to streamline delegations and encouraged leadership staff to show commitment to their roles beyond the usual working hours.

Decisions Aimed at Progress and Reform

Several pivotal decisions were made during the session. The Council decided to amend the regulation of foreign labor in Iraq by adding a member from the Ministry of Interior to the Higher Committee for Planning and Operating the Workforce. This move is expected to enhance the regulation and management of foreign labor in the country.

In a significant move towards economic reform, the Council endorsed the recommendation to exclude all foodstuffs from import regulations. This is a step towards reducing the bureaucratic red tape that often hampers trade and commerce. The Council also approved the donation of fixed assets from the Ministry of Construction, Housing, Municipalities, and Public Works to the road departments of several governorates.

Strengthening Intellectual Property and International Relations

The Council approved a bill for intellectual property protection, signaling Iraq’s commitment to safeguarding intellectual rights and fostering innovation. The session also saw the ratification of a strategic partnership treaty between Iraq and France. This new alliance is expected to open up avenues for increased cooperation and mutual growth between the two nations.

The Council reiterated the importance of strengthening the protection and promotion of civil society in Europe. Measures to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Council of Europe’s policy towards neighboring regions were also discussed.

Aiming for a Brighter Future

The decisions made by the Council of Ministers aim to promote economic growth, protect intellectual property, strengthen bilateral relations, and address major challenges facing Iraq and the Council of Europe. As the outgoing Chairman, Mr. Timo Soini, took stock of Finland’s Presidency, Ms. Amélie de Montchalin outlined the priorities of the incoming French Presidency, setting the tone for future progress and cooperation.

As the Council concluded its session, it reaffirmed its commitment to the progress of Iraq and the betterment of its people, offering a renewed sense of hope for a brighter future.

"RV UPDATED" BY MILITIAMAN, 9 OCT

  Militia Man

 Article "Director of Al-Sistani’s Office: The authority warned against corruption and called for combating it, but there is no life for whomever you call for."   WOW!! 

 When the Supreme Religious Authority, Ali al-Sistani, speaks of a fatwa to follow laws...the people that fit the shoes and ware them better be careful to make things right and quickly.. Failure...will likely have significant consequences...He issued a fatwa that money any employee or official obtains in violation of the law is forbidden. 

Also, wasting public money and appropriating it, or illegal disposal of it, is forbidden. That is some heavy stuff. Think of all those that are guilty in the line up..  [NOTE: The Arabic word fatwa refers, in simple terms, to an edict or ruling by a recognized religious authority on a point of Islamic law.]

Article:  "Specialist: The government is obligated to present its vision for next year’s budget in the middle of this month"

  The government still being unable to implement the budget for the years 2023, 20224 and 2025 are amid secrecy and strict instructions to officials and advisors not to talk about the issue of the current or upcoming budget. 

Think about all of this. They are keeping what we are looking for tight to the chest. Rightfully so.. I love this!

Iran and Iraq Call for OIC Emergency Meeting Amid Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, 9 OCT

 Iran and Iraq Call for OIC Emergency Meeting Amid Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, 9 OCT

The foreign ministers of Iran and Iraq, in a recent development, have called for an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to discuss the ongoing developments in Palestine. This call for dialogue comes amid escalating tensions and violence between the Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters, painting a grim picture of the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Call for Unity and Solidarity

The ministers emphasized the need for coordination and solidarity among Islamic nations in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people. They urged the OIC to provide support for Palestine against the aggressive actions of the Israeli regime. It’s a call to the larger Islamic community to unite in their stance against oppression and to shore up support for Palestinians in these trying times.

The Iranian Perspective

The Iranian foreign minister stressed the legitimate right of Palestinians to resist aggression and occupation. He called for coordinated action by Islamic countries to help Palestine and put an end to Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians. This call for action underscores Iran’s commitment to the Palestinian cause and its willingness to mobilize collective efforts in its support.

The Current State of Conflict

The Israeli regime has been bombing Gaza and engaging in fierce fighting with Palestinian fighters in multiple areas. The death toll stands at 413 Palestinians and over 700 Israelis. The recent escalation follows Israeli settlers storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the killing of Palestinians by Israel in recent months. This wave of violence has stirred international concern and heightened calls for intervention to halt the bloodshed.

Anticipating Future Ramifications

The future ramifications of the current situation are significant. The ongoing conflict has the potential to destabilize the region further, straining international relations and fueling a humanitarian crisis. The emergency meeting of the OIC, if it occurs, could play a pivotal role in deescalating tensions and establishing a framework for peace and stability in the region.

Iraq and 5 countries renew commitment to supporting oil stability, 9 OCT

 Iraq and 5 countries renew commitment to supporting oil stability, 9 OCT

Shafaq News / In a joint statement released on Monday, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain reaffirmed their commitment to "voluntary collective and individual production adjustments" for oil.

The statement followed a meeting of the oil ministers of the six countries on the sidelines of the Climate Week events in the Middle East and North Africa region, launched by the United Nations in Riyadh.

The ministers reiterated their readiness to take additional measures at any time as part of their ongoing efforts to support market stability and build on the strong cohesion of the OPEC+ alliance. OPEC+—comprising OPEC members and non-OPEC allies led by Russia—had previously agreed in June to extend voluntary oil production cuts announced in April until the end of 2024.

Saudi Arabia and Russia announced additional voluntary cuts until the end of 2023, subject to monthly review. However, during the OPEC+ ministerial meeting last Wednesday, there were no changes made to the group's oil production policy, as Saudi Arabia and Russia confirmed their continued commitment to voluntary supply cuts to support the market.

• Sun. 8 Oct. In one month $17,400,000,000 in US Treasuries were dumped by BRICS nations China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. The sell off was impossible to ignore.

The sell-off in bond markets and the rapid rise in Treasury yields have unleashed financial chaos in recent days and weeks. BOOM! $17,400,000,000 US Treasuries Dumped: The BRICS Nations Setting the Stage for Financial Anarchy! – American Media Group (amg-news.com)
• On Friday, a better-than-expected jobs report added fuel to the fire, with the 10-year yield hitting a high of 4.85% while the 30-year yield topped 5%.
• Five Months before his Assassination, President John F. Kennedy issued this executive order that would give the American currency back to the People by printing Money based on a Silver Standard, Taking away the power of the Federal Reserve Banking cartel. Many argue this is the Reason that JFK was assassinated.

Redemption Centers

• Redemption Centers represent a transformative process to the Quantum Financial Access card. This card is the gateway to claiming our Gesara (on a global scale) and Nesara (for the U.S.) funds. And guess what? These funds have already been deposited, awaiting our claim.
• Wells Fargo, a banking giant you’re undoubtedly familiar with, plays a pivotal role in this new-age financial paradigm. This institution has mirrored every bank account onto the Quantum Financial System (QFS). Your hard-earned money, your retirement nest eggs, your 401ks – they’re all securely mirrored on the QFS. Brokerage platforms remain outside this mirroring process.
• Transitioning into the Quantum Financial System (QFS) isn’t just about money; it’s a spiritual journey. Entering this realm demands purity of heart. It necessitates forgiveness and unconditional love. As we prepare to embrace this financial metamorphosis, it’s crucial to cleanse our souls and be ready to love unconditionally.
• Zim holders, especially those with humanitarian interests, will be directed to Redemption Centers based on their zip codes. Nomads, those who live life on the move, should be prepared to declare their mobile status.
• The Redemption Centers operate on a rigorous schedule, functioning continuously for 15 days, irrespective of demographics. However, not all centers will have to remain open for the entire duration.
• The primary currencies exchanged here include Zim, Dinar, Dong, and the Dollar. These hold significance due to their substantial gold backing.
• Not all bonds can be exchanged at these centers  (Zim Bonds can). For those national currency bonds to be eligible, they would’ve needed to be in an SKR for a solid five years. No shortcuts here.
• The bond payout process is a marathon, not a sprint, spanning an estimated three years. But this gradual transition ensures stability and sustainability. Early birds in this game might reap richer rewards. The value of bonds is further amplified as they’re backed by solid gold.
• Bondholders possessing container loads will be at the front of the queue. To put it plainly, a holder with 20 pallets of bonds will precede one with only 3 pallets. The bond payouts could span up to 25 years, necessitating NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) for the same duration. The reason? Distributing vast amounts in one go could deplete funds meant for the global populace.
• America, with its unique financial landscape, enjoys certain privileges that other nations might miss out on. The rates of Zim and other foreign currencies are in a constant flux. And while many have been informed that a substantial 80% of funds for Humanitarian Projects will be extracted from Zims, the true nature of this process remains shrouded in mystery.
