Baghdad - Mawazine News
goes beyond the presence of Arab leaders to Baghdad after the protocol meeting to represent a new era, initiated by both Egypt and Jordan, which the Iraqis and Arabs have long awaited, as they restore the image of the brothers who were flocking to Baghdad carrying messages of dialogue and understanding, the last of which was at the 1990 summit, which witnessed Unprecedented tension in Arab-Arab relations. The crisis between Iraq and Kuwait at that time was not resolved peacefully, and ended with Saddam’s invasion of it and his stay in it for six months, which ended with a war that destroyed everything and everything, and entered Iraq into the isolation of the siege at times and the invasion and occupation later.
An Arab summit that had high hopes
The current June summit in Baghdad, attended by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who set foot in Iraq to record being the first Egyptian president to come in 30 lean years, was received with a standing ovation in Baghdad, officially and popularly, as was the case with King Abdullah II, who sent a message the day before his arrival to visit the shrine of the Companion Jaafar bin Abi Talib (the pilot) in the Jordanian Karak, she was satisfied with the Iraqis.
The summit was achieved after being postponed due to force majeure in the three capitals Baghdad, where the explosions and the attack on the headquarters of the presidency, and Amman, with the arrests it witnessed in what the authorities describe as the “issue of sedition,” and Cairo, with the terrorist incidents that followed. Some thought that this promised summit would not take place and be preceded by all these premises, but a determined Arab will, which moved that summit, believes that behind it is not the three countries whose leaders came, but rather a Gulf Arab consensus supporting the effectiveness and feasibility of including Iraq into its Arab surroundings again, and extending A helping hand and support for him, after the turmoil increased him and non-Arab countries were isolated in his decision, which are the outcomes and products of the occupation in 2003, and the repercussions it had, difficult for the Iraqi people, threatened their existence and displaced their people, after foreign interventions made Iraq a battlefield for their agendas and interests together.
Files for cooperation and other for mutual development
Long and thorny files discussed by the leaders in Baghdad, after they decided not to relive the wounds of the past, looking ahead and making history assess those who caused that long estrangement that isolated Arab countries from each other, foremost of which is the Iraq crisis, which has descended by joint Arab action far, and with sad and dramatic developments Definitely, that is why the leaders gathered in Baghdad decide to discuss ways to develop economic, political and security work, and to search for joint ventures that develop mutual interests between the three countries, and open up areas for investments with other Arab countries nominated in the forefront of which are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria and the UAE.
This project, in its economic dimension, simulates the European Common Market, as Al-Kazemi described it during his recent visit to the United States as a strategic work entitled “The New Levant.” It is expected that Iraq, Egypt and Jordan will sign agreements to implement giant economic projects in the fields of energy, transportation, commercial investments and the exchange of labor, not Especially from Egypt, whose millions of people have already lived in Iraq for work, production, education and other sectors, especially since the Egyptians had extensive experience during the seven years that will benefit both parties. Egypt has been able to produce electric power and has a surplus, as well as Jordan, which has expressed its willingness to transfer Iraqi oil by pipeline extending from the latter to Aqaba on the sea.
For his part, the Iraqi economist Mazen Al-Aboudi believes, "Any new outlet to Iraq will provide a great opportunity to work, but investment job opportunities or in terms of opening new economic horizons, need a real Iraqi political will and intention, to implement these agreements, especially towards the Arab depth, give Very good references to all Arab countries and incubators that Iraq wants to create a kind of balance in its relations with neighboring countries in general. As Iraqis, we have nothing to do with our brothers in Jordan or Egypt except in two directions, namely exporting Iraqi oil and trying to attract Egyptian and Jordanian products. Perhaps attracting Egyptian-Jordanian investment to Iraq, while emphasizing that we will not be the biggest winners except at the political level, perhaps, but economically it does not make a big difference to Iraq unless Iraq intends to open joint investments with these countries in free zones, and this opens up prospects for cooperation with Gulf countries in the future.
Iraqi criticism asks: What are we gaining?
The atmosphere of Baghdad was not free from the distress of many political forces, led by the loyalists, and some specialized economic voices in Iraq questioned the feasibility of cooperation, which will result from the meeting of the leaders of the three countries, foremost of which is Iraq, which seeks to look at a political break through the gateway to the economy.
Al-Kazemi’s followers explain that these criticisms were found in this visit, and the project undermines its former hegemony and exclusivity in Iraq, and that it mocked many of the views criticizing the “New Levant” project, which Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi first announced, during his previous visit to the United States.
But the writer Naji Al-Ghazi believes that this project, or what he described as the “New Orient”, or the tripartite summit, is a purely American project prepared by the World Bank in 2013, in order to pay off the debts of Egypt and Jordan through the Iraqi oil pipeline within the reduced prices and the tax of the pipeline passing through Jordanian territory. $6 per barrel, and the oil price is $16 less than the market,” he said.
Yahya al-Kubaisi questioned the economic feasibility of what Egypt would offer to Iraq, saying, "Egypt's public debt amounts to 399.2 billion dollars, according to the latest announced figures, and the domestic debt is 270 billion dollars, while the external debt amounted to 129.2 billion dollars, while Egypt's gross domestic product in 2020 amounting to $361.8 billion, and this means that the amount of debt is more than 110 percent compared to the gross domestic product, while the debt should not exceed 60 percent according to the international standard, and here the question arises: what does Egypt provide to Iraq?! For the situation facing possible agreements.
At the same time, Mazen Al-Aboudi goes on to diagnose the great self-imbalance that the Iraqi economy suffers from as a result of the crises that the country has gone through, by saying, “Iraq for years has been a large consumer market for all countries, especially neighboring countries, meaning that the Iraqi external trade balance suffers from a major crisis that has led to the creation of A major imbalance at the agricultural and industrial levels in particular, as a result of the policy of dumping the market with foreign products and goods, and these sectors are no longer able to compete with any of the products imported to Iraq, which are received by us at low prices. The other point is that Iraq completely lacks all the ingredients, especially the infrastructure necessary for the success of Any of the sectors that can achieve a percentage of growth can indicate going in the direction of sustainable development, in all sectors in the end.
He adds, "The interests of the political class are directly related to the type of the Iraqi economy, a monolithic rentier from the sale of oil, and the disposal of its revenues through the payment of salaries, at a time when the largest budget goes towards major corruption operations shared by the corrupt in power: (The existence of this type of economy puts Iraq As a model of the rentier economy, it is a model similar to the political class and the ruling parties that control the corrupt political scene.
In light of this reality in which Iraq is located, Al-Aboudi believes, “Every orientation of Iraq towards any of the countries to open new outlets would create new opportunities for Iraq and open doors for it to cooperate with other countries to improve its situation and change this trade balance, even if relatively in its favour. It will end in failure as long as there is a political class that controls the formation of governments and exercises the same role every time, and it is in its interest that Iraq remains only in the category of rentier economy.”
The tripartite summit, which focused on its economic feasibility of investment, was filled with discussions by ministers who presented with their heads many comprehensive files, especially the security aspect, which is likely that the three countries that have suffered from terrorism that hit their cities generated great experiences in realizing ways to confront it, in addition to facilitating the work and transfer of labor Among them, communications and transportation, and opening up the prospects for partnership with the Arab environment, which completes the unity and cooperation of these countries.
