Al-Sudani urges Bin Salman: Preventing regional escalation is vital

Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani informed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of the necessity "to do more" to prevent escalation in the Middle East region following the Iranian attack on Israel.

According to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA,) Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received a phone call from Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Sudani and discussed recent military escalation in the region and the danger of its repercussions on security and stability. 

Both sides stressed the importance of making necessary efforts to avoid escalation in the region.

Marking his first visit to the United States since assuming office in October 2022, the Iraqi PM headed on Saturday a high-level delegation on an official visit to discuss various issues of common interests.

A government source unveiled to Shafaq News Agency details of Al-Sudani's visit to Washington, which marks a diplomatic endeavor.

According to the source, the 5-day visit encompasses three states, Washington, Michigan, and Houston, "showcasing a comprehensive engagement with various sectors and stakeholders."

"Al-Sudani is scheduled to meet with key figures, including US President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, at the Pentagon to delve into crucial bilateral matters." The source explained.

Additionally, Al-Sudani's itinerary includes sessions with representatives from US energy companies and engagements with the Iraqi community across the visited states "to foster deeper ties and explore avenues for collaboration beyond traditional diplomatic spheres."

Al-Sudani is accompanied by a delegation comprising government officials, parliamentarians, and business leaders. Notably, the source pointed out that the absence of a high-ranking Iraqi security official from the delegation highlighted a "strategic shift towards cooperation in other fields including economy and developmental agendas in the Iraq-US partnership."

"The visit is strategically aligned with Iraq's vision of expanding cooperation with the United States, particularly in economic domains outlined in the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement. Al-Sudani seeks to activate provisions across seven sectors in the Agreement."

The Strategic Framework Agreement guides overall political, economic, cultural, and security ties with Iraq. 

Initiatives like the Strategic Development Road Project, which has the potential to enhance regional connectivity and foster economic prosperity, will be central to discussions, said the source, "The delegation will also engage in talks regarding strategic gas projects and the ongoing dialogue concerning the Global Coalition's mission in Iraq."

Article Quote:  “Approximately 1,000 ATMs will be installed across all provinces,  districts, and areas of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG) by the end of 2024”

"IRAQ BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY FIREFLY, 15 APRIL

 Frank26  

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

 FIREFLY:  They talked a long time about how the national cards we have will be used for all transactions in our country. 

 FRANK:  The national cards tell Iraqi citizens that their currency is about to have value, that it's about to go international.  The International world would not want anything to do with the toilet paper valued currency.  These are the hints.  These are the telltale signs that they are are re-denominating and a new exchange rate is at your doorstep...

FIREFLY:  Television is talking about our international debt going from trillions to billions...

 FRANK:  That is the definition of lifting the three zeros...It's that simple...Going from trillions to billions - how?  'We already told you, we're lifting the three zeros from our exchange rate.'  Why?  'Because we're re-denominating our currency.'  How?  'By bringing out lower notes and getting rid of the three zero notes... '  Why?  'Because we suffered enough.'

FIREFLY: Sudani say the meeting with Biden will put our reconstruction on a whole new basis.  

FRANK:  The only reason the economic reform is going to be on a whole new basis...successful, is because the monetary reform was successful.
