Tishwash: Al-Awadi: The Prime Minister’s participation in the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit is a clear message about Iraq’s regional role
Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi confirmed today, Monday, that the participation of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani in the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit on Gaza comes within the framework of emphasizing the importance of Iraq’s regional role and its firm position towards the Palestinian issue.
Al-Awadi said in a statement to Al-Iraqiya News, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that “the presence of a large number of heads of state at this summit would not have happened without the great importance of the Palestinian issue, as well as the international community’s growing awareness of the importance of the Iraqi role in the region.”
He added, “Iraq cannot be informed of the truth about the agreements and initiatives proposed regarding Gaza and the region, without the actual presence of the Prime Minister, which allows him to be directly informed and participate in formulating positions”.
He added, “Iraq officially went to the Sharm El-Sheikh summit to confirm its clear position on the necessity of stopping the killing of civilians in Arab and Islamic countries, especially Palestine, lifting the siege on Gaza, stopping forced displacement, and starting reconstruction”.
He explained that “the Prime Minister’s participation in the summit is to confirm Iraq’s firm and decisive position that the Palestinian people have the right to live on their land freely and with dignity,” stressing that “this issue is not negotiable, and the Palestinian people must be granted the right to self-determination.”
He also pointed out that “the Iraqi government believes in the importance of dialogue and understandings as a way to find a real balance in the region, and warns that failure to adhere to these paths will expose existing agreements to collapse”.
Al-Awadi explained, “Through his participation, the Prime Minister seeks to meet with the largest possible number of leaders and officials to exchange views, explain Iraq’s firm position, in addition to inviting leaders to visit Baghdad and enhance bilateral cooperation.”
Al-Awadi said, “There is a clear international view of Iraq’s return to its influential regional role and the balance of its presence on pivotal issues, which is confirmed even by the United States, which believes that Iraq is witnessing development and reconstruction and has become the focus of the region’s attention, and its position on the Palestinian issue is clear and firm.” link
