The political advisor to the Prime Minister, Fadi Al-Shammari, confirmed on Thursday that major projects that Iraq has not seen in 50 years will be launched after the approval of the budget, while indicating that the Road of Development will represent a qualitative transition for Iraq.

Al-Shammari said, to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "major projects that Iraq has not seen in 50 years will be launched as soon as the budget is approved."

He pointed out, "The southern governorates have suffered from grievances, in the past periods, and the time has come to do justice to them with major strategic projects," stressing, "Additional allocations for vital projects have been made for the holy cities of Karbala, Najaf, Kadhimiya, and Samarra."

Al-Shammari added, "Work is underway to prepare, through specialised committees, to draw the paths of the new highways linking Karbala and Najaf to the international highway without going through the city centers."

He continued, "The Development Road project is a qualitative transition for Iraq, as it will be a regional center for trade."
