Iraqi President Nizar Amedi said on Friday he continues to support the government and parliament, stressing the importance of working hard to pass the budget and complete the restriction of weapons to the state, reinforcing its authority and sovereignty.
Speaking at the Sulaymaniyah International Forum, in remarks carried by the Iraqi News Agency, Amedi said “the sensitive historical moment underlines the need for regional dialogue and the exchange of views and experience” to overcome the turbulence the region is going through.
He added that Iraq is working “intensively” to boost its revenues and diversify their sources, calling for laws to be completed in line with the constitution and for national unity and local understandings to be strengthened.
The president’s remarks come as Iraq faces financial pressure linked to volatile oil markets and disruption to shipping in the Gulf, making the budget an urgent item for the government and parliament.
