On the other hand, he added, "We asked the international coalition to end its 10-year mission in Iraq, in light of the readiness and efficiency of the Iraqi security services," noting, "The government has priorities, including reforming the Iraqi economy, and we cannot continue to rely on oil revenues only."
He continued, "We are moving on two tracks: the first is to achieve reforms in various economic, banking and financial sectors, and gas investment, and the other is to implement projects that provide jobs and meet our needs of services and goods," explaining that "Iraq imports annually $ 70 billion of goods (2020), and with the Netherlands we have imports of about $ 500 million annually."
"We have started the program of optimal water use, in the conditions of scarcity that the region and the world are experiencing," he said.
He added, "We supported farmers and farmers in the acquisition of modern irrigation systems, and we are trying to invest successful experiences in the Netherlands to confront water scarcity in Iraq," noting that "one of the outputs of the meeting with the Dutch government is the formation of a cooperation council between Iraq and the Netherlands, to follow up on all files, including the Agriculture and Water Committee."
The prime minister stressed, "We succeeded in approving a three-year budget, which is a message of stability in the implementation of projects without delay," noting that "the Iraq Fund for Development will enter with the private sector in the implementation of projects away from the government, whose role will be planning and organizing."
For the first time, the government provides sovereign guarantees to the private sector of up to 85% for any project being implemented," he said.
We need a group of factories that provide construction materials for new cities and invest in existing natural resources," he said, adding, "Iraq has adopted the development road project, which is the large economic corridor that connects the large port of Faw to Europe through Turkey, all the way to the port of Rotterdam."
He also pointed out that "the development road saves time and transportation costs, and will contain railways without stopping," pointing out that "the large port of Faw will witness the light and opening in mid-2025, and one of the ships has docked a trial berth on one of its five berths."
He added, "We submitted the draft law on economic amendments, which will provide an attractive environment for the private sector, and provide a percentage of ownership for the foreign company up to 100%."
We have embarked on a radical reform of the financial and banking sector, and procedures related to compliance with international standards in remittances," he said, stressing that "international and Arab banks have begun to open their branches in Iraq."
He pointed out that "all nationalities are currently working in Iraq, and at the level of the European Union, there are French, Italian, German, Spanish and Austrian companies, as well as Asian, Arab and from the countries of the region."
He concluded by saying: "There is a will and work at all levels of Iraqi state institutions to move to a better reality”

"ANALYSIS OF IRAQ NEWS:AL-MANDALAWI: THE COMING WEEKS WILL WITNESS THE LEGISLATION OF THE LAW ENDING THE AMERICAN PRESENCE IN IRAQ" BY MNT GOAT, 16 FEB
AL-MANDALAWI: THE COMING WEEKS WILL WITNESS THE LEGISLATION OF THE LAW ENDING THE AMERICAN PRESENCE IN IRAQ
Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, announced on Wednesday that “the coming weeks will witness the legislation of the law ending the American presence” in Iraq, with Baghdad and Washington resuming talks on scheduling the withdrawal of international coalition forces from the country and ending their presence there.
A statement from the office of the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, a copy of which {Al-Furat News} received, stated that Al-Mandalawi “received, today, Wednesday, the head of the Iranian judiciary, Gholam Hossein Ejei, and his accompanying delegation, in the presence of a number of representatives and the Iranian ambassador to Iraq, Muhammad Al-Sadiq.”
Al-Mandalawi stressed that “the repeated American attacks on Iraqi sites and figures are in violation of international law and would disturb relations between the two countries,” expressing the House of Representatives’ keenness to implement its previous decision to remove foreign forces from the country, while stating that the coming period will witness the enactment of a law to completely end their presence, and that Iraq is a country a strong person who does not need foreign forces to protect him, calling at the same time on Arab and Islamic parliaments to enact laws to hold the Zionist entity and the countries that support it accountable and to criminalize relations with them.”
Al-Mandalawi said, “The legislative authority is keen to strengthen relations with all countries of the region and neighborhood, and it believes in cooperation and integration with the Iraqi executive and judicial authorities, and supports bilateral agreements and treaties in the field of judicial and legal cooperation between the judicial authorities of the two countries, stressing that Iraq’s role is consistent with Palestine’s, The international system and the countries of the region in particular are responsible for stopping the brutal Zionist aggression in Gaza.”
For his part, the Iranian judiciary chief praised the role of the Iraqi Parliament, describing it as exceptional, as it was the first parliament to enact a law criminalizing normalization with the Zionist entity. This is an honorable position and one to be credited with, stressing that the Iraqi people can manage their country in the way they see fit, while calling for “More cooperation between the parliaments of the two countries on regional issues, especially since Iraq’s position is influential and effective.”
(Of course when the article uses terms like Zionist to describe American forces, it becomes apparent that this is coming from Iranian backed factions who would luv to see the US pull out so they can fill the gap, like ISIS tried to do in 2014.)
