is the strategic framework agreement signed between Iraq and the United States in 2008 an important milestone in the history of relations between the two countries, but the implementation of the provisions of that Convention has not lived up to the level of the challenges faced by Iraq after the fall of the dictatorial regime in 2003.'s investment this agreement and including consistent with the need for Iraq to ally strategically strong as the United States, needs to provide an atmosphere absorbs data the domestic, regional and its impact on the level of relations with the United States and other regional and international powers, as well as the diagnosis of the resources and tools necessary to take advantage of those relationships.
gaining the need to build a strong alliance with the U.S. United great importance in the light of what the region is witnessing political developments and the serious security and instability, represented by the growing phenomenon of terrorism and the breadth of her constituency as a result of conflicts with dye sectarian-led streams militant turned the area into a war zone and had a negative impact on the political situation, security and development in Iraq. Although the pursuit of the Iraqi government to strengthen relations with the United States, but there are issues associated with many of them the legacy of Saddam's regime or by circumstances regional, and is now a priority for Iraq in its relations with the United States, but they have a negative impact on the reality of those relations at a time when needs when Iraq to the international efforts to rebuild its institutions and develop its economy and enhance its capabilities in the face of terrorist organizations. So to be preparing the draft looking for treatments for these issues through an objective assessment of the causes and effects, and is designed to enhance these relations in the interest of Iraq and its people. For example, I have left the issue of Camp Ashraf residents and the subject of Jewish Archive, as well as Iraq's position on the crisis in Syria and relations with Iran and other issues of major impact on relations between the two countries, especially on the armament programs and security cooperation within the strategic framework agreement.
making the Iraqi government with international parties such as the United made great efforts to resettle the residents of Camp Ashraf, but the attacks on the camp's residents, and accused the Iraqi government of failing to provide the necessary protection for the residents of the camp, sparked a media frenzy and political had its echoes and wide in the United States and some European Union countries that sympathize with these people. As supporters of the camp's residents took advantage of those attacks, to influence the positions of the U.S. Congress to the Iraqi government, has been followed to achieve so many means, including the use of pressure groups known (lobby) in Congress and the U.S. media. And reveal these developments on the importance of the media's role in directing positions, as well as the importance of communicating with different powers and decision-makers in the United States for the detection of the circumstances of the events, which enhances the confidence of the parties, the Iraqi government.
also took the issue of Jewish Archive, which is undergoing maintenance in the United States, a large area of attention of the members of the U.S. Congress and some non-governmental organizations and especially the Jewish, which demands not to return to Iraq Archive. This matter requires us to deal cautiously with this file, with an emphasis on the historical significance to him as part of the Cultural Heritage of Iraq and find a solution that would satisfy the collection of parties and ensures the ownership of the archive to Iraq.
On the other hand, draws some of the decision-making circles in the United States criticized the Iraqi government, because of its position on the Syrian crisis, and lack of adherence to the United States and other countries, which calls for the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad from power. As a result, Ihspena other with those who support the Syrian regime, so it is necessary to remind the world what he was doing the terrorists from targeting the Iraqis, and how to make from Syria, and many years ago, a springboard for them to carry out attacks against Iraq prompted the Iraqi government to file a complaint against the Syrian regime at the United Nations in 2009, but many countries, including the United States did not support the complaint, and the time to the protection of the Assad regime in the Security Council.
Here we must clarify Iraq's position has Aldoaúralamatherh in the United States (U.S. Congress, research centers, in particular), The goal of the call to settle the dispute through negotiations and selection of an elected government free represent the will of the Syrian people and the participation of all segments of society, and be able to end the bloodshed and the control of terrorist organizations, which have a direct impact on the situation in Iraq.
while building the institutions of the state requires great efforts and open in relations with the countries of the developed world and an accurate diagnosis of reality. Include the process of institution-building aspects of the legislative and technical also be the level of Iraq's need for foreign expertise to contribute to the reconstruction, here is a must for Iraq to consolidate its relations with the United States, especially in light of an agreement strategy aspires lot of countries in the world to be her ideals. Iraq has been on high economic growth and rapid population growth, and these constitute important factors in attracting international companies, but the rigidity of some laws and not to keep pace with the development in foreign dealings, in addition to the security situation in parts of Iraq precludes providing a suitable environment to attract international companies, especially the U.S. to enter the Iraqi market.
interaction with international organizations, such as the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund in Washington, plays an important role in supporting the process of internal development, so it is necessary to develop a strategy to deal with these organizations make the most of them in achieving the goals that aspires Iraq to achieve. It also gaining civil society organizations, such as human rights groups and others, the importance of promoting the values of democracy, consolidate the concepts of human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals, and that the activation of the role of these organizations and support activity is a measure of the extent of the country's progress in the field of democracy and human rights, and enhances the strength of The political system in its relationship with the people and the international community, supports the state's efforts in the fight against manifestations of financial and administrative corruption and the adoption of standards of integrity and to promote transparency and accountability within the institutions of the state and with the citizen.
Iraq seeks to establish good relations with all countries, especially with the United States, built on the basis of common interests mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs. That there are some differences in the visions with the United States and other countries is normal in international relations and is not considered a decline in relations, the converging goals sometimes have to diverge sometimes the other, but requires it to clarify positions and the real motives and in line with the principles of partnership between states. Iraq has been able to come out of the judgment of guardianship to become a reliable partner in the international area fraught with variables that threaten the security and stability. It also developed a relationship of friendship with the United States to be as described by President Obama as "the normal relationship based on common interests and mutual respect." So we must invest this important relationship more effectively.
