Al-Sudani pointed to “continuous cooperation with the Wheat Council,” praising “his efforts in facilitating contracts with the Ministry of Commerce and supplying it with wheat, at a time when Iraq was in dire need of large quantities of it to enhance its food security.” He stressed, "The government is keen to continue cooperation with specialized American companies, in order to produce flour for the local market and dispense with importing it, in addition to the government continuing its efforts in the field of enhancing food security by supporting farmers and the private agricultural sector in Iraq." He pointed out that "the government will work to overcome all obstacles to proceed in cooperation with American companies in supporting this project, meeting the local market's need for flour, and planning to export it in the future by investing in the production capabilities of private mills, a large portion of their production lines are idle." For his part, Peterson expressed "looking forward to more cooperation and future work," noting that "the American Wheat Council has worked with Iraq for decades, within the framework of a memorandum of understanding for the Wheat Council. He also expressed his pride in the partnership with Iraq."

The Prime Minister pointed out that the Iraqi antiquities represent the country’s identity, history and civilization, and that the government continues its efforts to recover all the antiquities dating back to the Mesopotamian civilizations, especially after the country was exposed to a wave of theft and neglect during past eras, which caused the loss of such a large number. It is one of the archaeological collections that chronicle Iraq’s civilization and document its humanitarian contributions. He stressed that one of the important obligations of the government and the state is to cooperate with friendly countries and all international and cultural institutions. In order to return our antiquities to their original home. In addition, the Prime Minister received a member of the Foreign Relations and Armed Forces Committees in the US Senate, Democratic Party Senator Tim Kaine, and his accompanying delegation.

It began with the Supreme Military Committee, which will discuss the mission of the international coalition, which is subject to regulation in the ongoing dialogues between the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon to determine the form of the future security relationship.
In turn, Senator Keane expressed his happiness at the meeting, stressing his support for efforts that work to transform the relationship and make the economic, commercial and cultural aspects prominent, rather than the military aspect.
