10/13/2024  Baghdad

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said today, Sunday, October 13, 2024, that all he aspires to is to serve the Iraqis and put Iraq first in our government policy.

Al-Sudani said in an interview with CNN that: "The Iraqi government committed before the House of Representatives to rearrange the relationship with the international coalition to fight the terrorist ISIS."

He explained that "the international coalition was formed based on the invitation of the Iraqi government in 2014 and achieved, with the help of Iraq and friends, a historic achievement for the region and the world by defeating ISIS," stressing that "ISIS gangs do not represent a threat to the state."

The Prime Minister explained that "Iran is a neighboring country that is linked to Iraq in many areas and supports the political process," noting that "Iraq is the only country in the region that has balanced relations between countries that may have problems or disagreements, and it is a country that is completely different from the past stage."

Al-Sudani continued, "Iraq is witnessing unprecedented economic development and a stable political system. It is building balanced relations, confronting all corruption problems, and working on commercial and administrative reforms."

"We are turning into a promising country that represents a cornerstone in the stability of the Middle East," he said, adding, "Iraq and the United States are bound by the Strategic Framework Agreement in 2008, and we are working to activate it."

He stressed that "the Iraqi people are currently living in a state of hope and optimism."   LINK
