    Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, confirmed the ability of the government, led by Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, to steer  the country back on the course of stability.

    " The recent confirmation of Iraq’s new Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani provides a crucial window of opportunity to steer the country back on to the course of stability," Plasschaert, said during a speech at the Sulaymaniyah Forum, which was attended by the reporter of the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

    "In my most recent briefing to the UN Security Council, in early February, I mentioned that Iraq’s Government had shown its resolve to tackle a number of pressing issues, "she added.

    I can therefore only again emphasize that any government needs time to get things done. Also, for any government to achieve meaningful progress, broad support - be it from within or outside the coalition - is a prerequisite.

    She noted that "sustainable job creation cannot be achieved by increasing the inflation of the public sector, but there is an urgent need for economic and financial reforms."
