(Political: Al-Furat News) Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani announced that the government will submit the draft budget law of 2023 to the House of Representatives “soon.”
Al-Sudani said in a press statement: “The announcement of the general budget was delayed until it conforms to the government program, and that its announcement will be soon.”

Turkey is a gateway for Iraq to Europe, and there are important projects that will be announced soon regarding partnership and cooperation between the two countries, he said.
As for the United States, Al-Sudani said that Iraq’s relationship with it is strategic and long-term, and although Iraq does not need foreign combat forces, it needs cooperation, training and advice with the United States regarding confronting terrorism.
Al-Sudani pointed out that ISIS can no longer seize anywhere on Iraqi soil.
As for Gulf relations, Al-Sudani said that the Iraqi people sent in a 25 Gulf championship a spontaneous message expressing their thirst for communication with the Arab brothers, and announced that the Iraqi border is still open to brothers after the end of the tournament, pointing out that there is more than one free zone to be worked on at the border points with brothers in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
