The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, confirmed, today, Thursday, that hosting the Gulf 25 embodies the generosity of Iraqis.

Salih said in a tweet to him on his Twitter account, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Congratulations to Iraq and the dear Basra for hosting the 25th Gulf Championship," noting that "it is a merit worthy of Iraq and its people after more than four decades that deprived of that."

Salih praised "all the governmental and popular efforts and our sports fans that contributed to achieving this achievement, which embodies the Iraqis' ethos of generosity and hospitality."

مُبارك للعراق وللبصرة الفيحاء العزيزة باستضافة بطولة خليجي 25، وهو استحقاق يليق بالعراق وشعبه بعد أكثر من اربعة عقود حرمته من ذلك. نُثمن جميع الجهود الحكومية والشعبية وجماهيرنا الرياضية التي اسهمت في تحقيق هذا الانجاز الذي يُجسد شيم العراقيين في الكرم والضيافة. pic.twitter.com/9BetqWbcME
