Sayyid Al-Hakeem and Al-Sudani: reiterate forming local government in line with Federal Government’s service vision
The political landscape in Iraq and the surrounding region, along with the bilateral ties between Iraq and Britain, and strategies to strengthen these ties for the mutual benefit of both nations, constituted key points of discussion during our meeting with the British Ambassador to Iraq, His Excellency Stephen Hickey. We expressed appreciation for his congratulations on the recent success of local elections and underscored the importance of establishing governance structures focused on service delivery, capable of realizing aspirations and building positive momentum.
We also called to support the government in its efforts to provide services and achieve sustainable development, underscoring the significance of establishing local governments aligned with the overall direction of the government.
We stressed developing the relations between Iraq and Britain and urged the international community to bear its responsibilities in ensuring regional stability to safeguard the interests of all. Additionally, we called for a halt to hostilities in Gaza, humanitarian aid for the vulnerable population, and protection against the brutal machinery of violence.
