Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani stressed the Iraqi government’s keenness to work together to strengthen relations with Tunisia in various fields.

Al-Sudani said in a joint press conference with his Tunisian counterpart following the extensive talks of the delegations of the two countries: “The visit comes three months after the convening of the Iraqi-Tunisian Joint Committee in Baghdad, during which an important set of memoranda of understanding were signed in various fields. It is a road map to which the outcomes of this visit were added, during which an agreement was reached on files related to oil, industry and trade, financial and banking relations, cultural, sports, scientific and tourism activities,” praising the decisions taken to cancel the visa in order to facilitate movement and communication in the tourism sector and the movement of businessmen and companies.

He explained: “The discussions focused on the mechanisms that would implement the outcomes of the joint committee or today’s meeti
ngs, indicating that there is a clear insistence from both parties on close follow-up and continuous evaluation, and that Iraq has an environment for more investments and opportunities in various sectors, pointing to the desire of the Iraqi private sector to invest in Tunisia, which ensures integration in mutual investments, and enhancing trade exchange will be a prelude to achieving the desired economic integration between the two countries.”

The Prime Minister referred to the official positions of the two countries towards the Zionist aggression on Gaza and the Palestinian territories, which is a principled and fixed position towards the genocide targeting the Palestinian people, in light of the failure of the international community to carry out its legal and moral duties and responsibilities, stressing that today’s meeting with the Tunisian leadership comes within a series of meetings with Arab and friendly governments to crystallize positions in order to stop this destructive war that has begun to expan
d to include other regions in the Middle East, and threatens a comprehensive war in the world due to the persistence of the Zionist entity government and the lack of deterrence from international organizations and institutions.
