Baghdad: Omar Abdul Latif
France expressed its readiness to contribute to the completion of the "Development Road" project, while stressing that Iraq can count on its participation in the (Baghdad Summit) conference to be held next November.
In his speech at the French National Day celebration held by the embassy and attended by "Al-Sabah", the French Ambassador to Iraq, Patrick Durel, considered "this day an opportunity to celebrate the depth and antiquity of relations between the two countries, as this relationship is embodied in the strategic partnership signed between French President Emmanuel Macron and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, as this partnership includes several areas of cooperation that serve common interests and carry development and prosperity for Iraq, and within its framework we continue bilateral cooperation in the field of security and defense; as long as the Iraqi authorities desire it."
He added that "France is working hard with its partners to end the Gaza war and avoid the risks of its expansion, and we know that the stability of Iraq is linked to the stability of the region," noting that "Iraq is a crossroads and the (Development Road) represents an ambitious and necessary project, and France is ready to contribute to its completion."
Dorrell explained that "Iraq faces common challenges with its neighbors, such as water, climate change, protection of biodiversity, vulnerable groups, and the marshes, which are an Iraqi and global treasure. All of this requires cooperation with neighboring countries and others, from which the idea of the (Baghdad Summit) emerged, which is a unique regional initiative to support Iraq. He can count on France's participation in holding this conference in its third edition in Baghdad next November after two successful editions in the capital, Baghdad, in August 2021 and Jordan in December 2022."
He added that since his arrival, he has seen "the unity of Iraq and the vitality of relations between the region and the federal government, and that Iraq can rely on France and its companies, along with its Iraqi counterparts, to contribute to diversifying the local economy and developing services provided to the population thanks to the reform program set by Mr. Al-Sudani, and working hand in hand to highlight the Historical Heritage Summit with the resumption of the French archaeological mission, and educational and university cooperation for Iraqi students."
As for the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Hussein Bahr Al-Ulum, he indicated that bilateral relations between the two countries have witnessed a qualitative leap.
In his speech, Bahr Al-Uloom said: “The important development in bilateral relations suggests a serious desire on the part of the two countries to strengthen bilateral relations, and is an indication of Iraq’s confidence in France and its desire to open up at various levels, and its hope for the continuation and deepening of the partnership between our two countries, as Iraq considers France a strategic partner, and believes that fruitful cooperation will benefit the two peoples and contribute to achieving stability and development in Iraq and the region,” noting that “Iraq has moved, thanks to security stability, economic development, and the support of its friends, led by France, onto the path of sustainable development.”
