Yesterday evening, Monday, Baghdad time, al-Sudani received US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at his residence in New York.
During the meeting, according to a statement from his office received by "Al-Sabah", bilateral relations between the two countries and ways to enhance joint cooperation in various fields were discussed, as well as the latest developments in the region, regarding the recent escalation in Lebanon, as the Prime Minister urged the need to make all necessary efforts to quell the war and stop the ongoing aggression in Gaza and Lebanon, which threatens to expand the conflict in the region and destabilize regional and international security.
Al-Sudani stressed that the world and the region are going through a difficult time, and Iraq has repeatedly warned of the consequences of a comprehensive war that could break out at any time due to the lack of solutions on the part of the international community and its relevant institutions, stressing the need for the United Nations to fulfill its duties and responsibilities towards the aggressive crimes that Gaza and Lebanon are being subjected to, targeting civilians, especially women and children.
The meeting touched on areas of bilateral cooperation in the energy sector, as well as discussing the file of the international coalition and continuing dialogues to end its presence in Iraq, and moving to build bilateral cooperation relations with coalition countries in various fields and sectors.
The Prime Minister also met with the Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Catherine Russell, and according to a statement by the Prime Minister's Media Office, the meeting witnessed discussions on children's issues and rights and related international laws, and the progress achieved by Iraq in this field.
The Prime Minister urged "the international organization to cooperate with the Iraqi private sector in the field of education and higher education," stressing "the readiness of Iraqi governmental and private universities to benefit maximum from cooperation with UNICEF in all available fields."

The Prime Minister also met with the Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization, Dima Al-Yahya, and at the beginning of the meeting, Al-Sudani expressed his "thanks for Dima Al-Yahya's serious efforts and interest in Iraq's accession to the organization, which represents a personal interest for him, with what the organization can provide in terms of expertise, skills, training, and codification of laws and rules for all digital businesses, most notably digital trade and how to activate and benefit from it."
Al-Sudani stated that "a higher committee for digital transformation in Iraq has been formed, headed by the Prime Minister, and the committee will develop a comprehensive strategy for digital businesses and artificial intelligence, in line with Iraq's ambitions and international requirements in the field of digital transformation, extending an official invitation to Al-Yahya to visit Iraq."
For her part, Al-Yahya welcomed "Iraq's approval to join the Digital Cooperation Organization, as there are multiple action plans and programs that will soon see the light in Iraq after signing the organization's charter, and she stressed that Iraq will be one of the countries benefiting from the transfer of skills and training."

Al-Sudani appreciated "the efforts of the international organization during the previous stage," stressing that "the Iraqi experience in social protection is one of the pioneering experiences, as it witnessed the transition from the stage of providing cash subsidies to granting conditional subsidies to address multidimensional poverty, as social protection included approximately 2.2 million families, in addition to the importance of cooperation with ESCWA within the framework of updating the approved poverty reduction strategy, explaining the government's endeavor to adopt the sectors of digital transformation and artificial intelligence, and to borrow from the best experiences to implement them at the national level."

" The Prime Minister raised "the issue of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which has been subjected to continuous aggression for months, and the role of the international organization, and ESCWA in particular, in alleviating the impact of these conditions on our Palestinian people in all occupied territories."
For her part, Dashti expressed "ESCWA's desire to provide expertise and technical support in all development fields, especially supporting Iraqi social protection programs to be part of the stage of improving the conditions of beneficiaries, by benefiting from successful international experiences in this path."
