Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani announced the government’s communication with the team of US President-elect Donald Trump.
Al-Sudani, who arrived in Madrid yesterday evening, said in the most important points of his interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo:
We are facing a distinguished stage in relations with Spain, and there is a mutual desire to develop and advance them in all areas.
Spain is part of the international coalition that helped us eliminate the terrorist ISIS, and at our request, the mission of the international coalition will end within two years because the justification for its existence has ceased.
The capabilities of our security services have reached an advanced stage and there is political stability that has been reflected in the general situation of the country.
Our relations with the United States are institutional according to the Strategic Framework Agreement, and we have contact with the Trump team and it wants to develop relations with us.
The ceasefire agreement in Lebanon is an important event, and we hope that it will include the Gaza Strip to reflect on the stability of the region.
Our laws stipulate non-recognition of the Zionist entity, and the Palestinians are the owners of the land and the cause, and they are the ones who decide the formula for the solution to their cause.
There are Spanish companies in Iraq, especially in the railway and transportation sector, and we are keen to have more companies due to their efficiency and experience in implementing projects.
We will sign several memoranda of understanding with Spain, and there is a financial ceiling of 200 million euros to one billion euros to cover projects implemented by the Iraqi and Spanish private sectors.
A $250 million railway project was awarded to a Spanish company, and negotiations are underway with another Spanish company on a high-speed train project between Najaf and Karbala.
