Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and PM Muhammed S. Al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and we are working to maintain this. 

He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects, according to the PM's Media Office statement - received by the Iraqi News Agency - INA.

PM Al-Sudani joined officers and fighters of the Land Forces Command at an Iftar meal for the holy month of Ramadan.

Al-Sudani congratulated those present on the fasting of the holy month of Ramadan, stressing that the security and stability the country is witnessing thanks to the sacrifices of the members of the security services of all kinds, pointing to the improvement in security indicators, in light of security and stability, and the decline in terrorist operations, attacks, and even criminal activity. 

He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects, stressing the need to secure the fighters' entitlements and rights, particularly those related to housing. 

"The Ministry of Defense has made significant progress in completing the requirements for distributing residential plots, and they will soon be distributed among serviced areas among recruits, as part of a government commitment," he said, adding "This is in addition to caring for the families of martyrs and the wounded, without whose sacrifices security and stability would not have been achieved in Iraq."

The Prime Minister affirmed that "Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and we are working to continue this process. We must remain prepared, alert, and vigilant, and this is achieved by adhering to fundamental principles."

"Discipline, commitment, professionalism, and a willingness to sacrifice are military values that must be present. Leaders, officers, commanders, and non-commissioned officers must implant them in their behavior toward army members," he highlighted.

Al-Sudani explained, "We need continuous training and updated curricula to raise the level and readiness of army members to face various challenges," adding, "The government has made significant progress in empowering the Iraqi army, with all its leadership, formations, and branches, particularly in the field of armament."

"Arming the army will be accomplished through several projects we are working to complete, in addition to rehabilitating the infrastructure, including bases and camps. We must deliver all rights stipulated by laws and decisions to the families of martyrs and the wounded," he pointed out.

Al-Sudani concluded his remarks by emphasizing that "Iraq's path is moving in the right direction toward brotherhood, cohesion, unity, and a unified national discourse for all Iraqis."
