Sustainability.
The Prime Minister said in an article in Foreign Affairs magazine: “Two decades ago, the United States helped the Iraqi people overthrow the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein and lay the foundations for a democratic system. This enabled the Iraqis to taste freedom for the first time, eliminating the oppression and misuse of resources that caused problems.” "Not only for my country but also for the wider region."
He added, "During these two decades, Iraqi-American relations went through multiple stages of ups and downs, enthusiasm and apathy, and from consensus of positions and opinions at times, to disagreement and tension at other times, but despite that, there remained a clear and impeccable awareness between the leadership of the two countries that their relationship will remain a strategic relationship." “It has many commonalities that serve the interests of both sides.”
He continued, "We defeated terrorism together, and security cooperation allowed us to rebuild the Iraqi army and effective security forces. Today, we need to protect our strategic partnership by entering it into a new phase - a phase that supports Iraq's sovereignty and independence without abandoning the fruitful cooperation between Baghdad and Washington."
The Prime Minister said: “In late January, we formed the Supreme Military Committee, composed of senior military officials from both Iraq and the United States, to assess the continuing threat of the so-called ISIS, the capabilities of the Iraqi security services and operational conditions across the country. This led to The effort is to reach an agreement between all partners to end the international coalition in a gradual and organized manner according to an agreed upon timetable. (The coalition was formed in 2014 to fight ISIS, and includes 86 countries, led by the United States and invited by Iraq) indicating that from now on, the Supreme Military Committee will develop a map A path for future relations, including the presence of American advisors. These moves, in contrast to the downgrade in our relationship with the United States, will allow us to move to a new phase of partnership, based on cooperation that goes beyond mere security and military affairs.”
A good balance
. The Prime Minister stressed that “the Iraqi-American relationship is the key to the stability of the Middle East, as well as to the prosperity of the peoples of the region. We need time to manage internal complexities and reach political understandings with various parties. The decision to make war and peace must be an exclusive matter for the state, and it cannot Any other party can claim this right. With the help of its friends - especially the United States - Iraq was able to defeat the most ruthless terrorist organization in modern history. Now, only small groups of ISIS remain; they are pursued by our security forces, across deserts, mountains and in caves, but they "It no longer poses a threat to the state."
He pointed out, “The war against ISIS has greatly enhanced the experience of our security forces, making them among the best armies in combating terrorism. Therefore, it is time to turn the page and redirect our resources and capabilities from waging wars towards promoting development. Final victory over terrorism cannot be achieved without "Genuine development, including a decent level of health care, education and other basic services. This is the goal of the program that my government has developed and is determined to implement: to advance economic and financial reforms, promote human rights, empower women, and promote the principles of freedom and democracy in general."
He added, "It is also crucial that we combat corruption - the other face of terrorism, because its impact is no less devastating - and ensure that the Iraqi people's money is put toward achieving meaningful goals. We must also diversify our economy away from dependence on oil, even as we benefit from our position as the second largest." An OPEC oil exporting country (in addition to possessing significant natural gas reserves). To this end, we are advancing cross-border projects (such as industrial zones with neighboring countries) and a development route, which works to connect the Gulf region with Turkey and Europe. As part of this effort, we have Now is an opportunity to transform the relationship between Iraq and the United States from a unilateral relationship to a comprehensive relationship.”
The Prime Minister stressed, “The time has come to activate all the provisions of the Strategic Framework Agreement that Iraq and the United States signed in 2008. This agreement goes beyond security and military affairs only, which have dominated the relationship for most of the past two decades, and is characterized by conditions for cooperation in areas such as the economy, investment, and energy.” climate, agriculture, industry, technology, and education. Given their collective sacrifices, both the Iraqi and American people deserve to see continued benefits from this partnership. Iraq’s current stability should encourage American companies to participate in major development projects in energy, communications, housing, health care, education, transportation, and more. Our need extends Bringing American expertise and technology to the clean energy and green economy, as we aim to develop sustainable and renewable sectors. The Strategic Framework Agreement created the legal foundation for these activities. By investing in them, we can position Iraq to strengthen its democracy, strengthen the state, and strengthen the rule of law - the pillars that will allow us to restore Iraq To its historical splendor.
The Prime Minister said, “The guiding principle of our foreign relations is ‘Iraq First’ – building strong partnerships based on common interests with friendly countries in our region and beyond. This principle means that we approach every province on an equal footing, so that Iraq does not become an arena for any external actor.” To settle scores, Iraq must be dealt with on the basis of sovereignty and mutual respect, and not as an alternative to other conflicts. This is also why we seek to restore Iraq’s pivotal role in the Middle East, and to take advantage of our strategic position. We welcome the opportunity to work with the United States to defuse crises and reduce tensions in the East. "However, we are determined to avoid falling into conflict between two of our partners, Iran and the United States."
He added, "We consider that a comprehensive reduction in the escalation in the Middle East is in the interest of both Iraq and the United States. This requires - above all - an urgent end to the war in the Gaza Strip, and respect for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, when I visit Washington and meet with President Joe Biden on April 15." April will be an opportunity to put the US-Iraqi partnership on a new, more sustainable footing. Our discussions will emphasize the continuing importance of our economic relationship, cooperation in combating money laundering and terrorist financing, and the use of political and diplomatic tools to defuse regional tensions. Countering terrorism will remain a key topic for both of our governments.
He continued: We We recognize and appreciate the critical role of the United States and other members of the global coalition to combat ISIS in defeating terrorism. This support has helped Iraq achieve stability, take major strides in democracy and the rule of law, and ensure the government's monopoly on the use of force. However, we believe that the time has come for our relationship to become broader, “Recognizing the growing capabilities of our forces to defend Iraq, ensure the safety of its citizens, and contribute in essential ways to building a prosperous and stable Iraq, in its new form, our partnership can represent a source of mutual benefit for both our countries and a driving force in achieving stability in the Middle East.”/End8[/rtl]
