    Al-Kadhimi indicated that "Iraq played an important role in bringing the views of the regional countries closer by hosting the dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and there is progress in relations."

    Regarding the security file, the Prime Minister affirmed that "we have daily security operations to eliminate terrorists, and the security situation on the Iraqi-Syrian borders is good, and a large part of the security fence on the borders has been achieved," noting that there are those who are trying to destabilize the security file.
