The Iraqi government confirmed on Sunday that the completion of the cabinet is still linked to political agreements between the various forces, despite two months having passed since the confidence vote was granted to 14 ministers.
Government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi stressed that the issue of restricting weapons to the state is an Iraqi decision aimed at securing the atmosphere and consolidating internal stability, as it is a fundamental step to revive the Iraqi economy and create a suitable environment for investment and development.
According to Al-Aboudi, the dialogues and meetings that will take place during Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington will be based on the Strategic Framework Agreement between Iraq and the United States, and will focus on strengthening cooperation in a number of files, most notably energy, economy, investment, development and education.
Al-Zaidi is scheduled to leave for Washington on Monday, heading a high-level government delegation, to meet with US President Donald Trump, senior officials and heads of American companies.
