On Thursday, the United Nations, the United States, Britain, Germany and Iran welcomed the new Iraqi government headed by Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, who received the confidence of Parliament by a majority to succeed the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, “UNAMI”, said in a statement, that it “welcomes the Iraqi parliament’s granting of confidence to the new government headed by Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani,” renewing “the firm commitment of the United Nations to support the Iraqi government and people.”
The mission indicated that “the new government faces many serious challenges that require decisive action, and this will include addressing systemic corruption in Iraq, implementing much-needed reforms, and providing appropriate services to all citizens.”
The US ambassador to Iraq, Alina Romanowski, was the first foreign official to congratulate the new Iraqi prime minister.
And she said in a tweet on her Twitter account, seen by Anatolia, that her country’s government “looks forward to working with the new government to promote our common goals during this pivotal stage for Iraq and its people.”
British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, via his Twitter account, also congratulated Al-Sudani on his appointment to the position of Prime Minister.
Cleverly expressed his country’s readiness to “support the Sudanese and his government in taking urgent measures to address the challenges facing Iraq.”
In this context, the German ambassador to Iraq, Martin Jaeger, said in a tweet on his Twitter account: “We congratulate the new Iraqi Prime Minister for his government’s obtaining the confidence of Parliament.”
“We look forward to working closely with you and your government,” he added, noting that Germany “will remain a reliable and stable partner for a sovereign, united and democratic Iraq.”
In turn, the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, Muhammad Kazem Al Sadiq, said in a tweet via his Twitter account: “We congratulate the vote on the Iraqi government and the exit from the political impasse that lasted for a whole year.”
Al-Sadiq wished the government success in serving the Iraqi people of all stripes and components.
And the ministerial curriculum, which was distributed before the parliament session was held to give confidence to the Sudanese government on Thursday, stated that the program includes strengthening Iraq’s relations with countries on the basis of the principle of mutual respect and common interests, especially with neighboring countries, the Gulf Cooperation Council and Arab countries, and not allowing Iraq to be a corridor or As a base for attacking other countries, and asking other countries for reciprocity.
He also pledged to continue dialogue between Iraq and the countries of the international coalition regarding the presence of international forces in Iraq, according to the needs and requirements of perpetuating security and stability in a way that preserves Iraq’s sovereignty and unity.
After more than a year of political crisis, the Iraqi Council of Representatives granted today, October 27, by an absolute majority, confidence to the Shiite government, the candidate of the Coordinating Framework Forces.
Experts believe that passing the Sudanese government so easily came as a result of the absence of the “Sadr movement” from the House of Representatives after the withdrawal of its 73 deputies last June.
