National Assembly speaker Al-Ghanim saying Kuwait welcomes a stable and united Iraq that is open to its neighbours.

Kuwait’s chief lawmaker praised an Iraqi-hosted conference for bringing together neighbouring parliaments, saying Kuwait welcomes a stable and united Iraq that is open to its neighbours.

“For our part in Kuwait, we say, without ambiguity and with clarity: We are with a stable, secure and unified Iraq,” he told top lawmakers from the host nation, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Syria and Turkey.

The talks “give hope to the region’s people, Iraqis in specific, that entering an age of peace and stability is possible, and that regional fighting and tension are not an inevitable fate as some tend to portray,” he said.

“Strategically, we support a prosperous and developed Iraq that enjoys growth and prosperity,” the National Assembly speaker said.Iraq is a “neighbour” and, he said, it was not in the interests of its neighbours for the country to be going through a period of turmoil.

This is the reason His Highness the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah chose to host the Iraqi reconstruction international donors’ conference in early 2018, he explained.

Al-Ghanim described the talks as “unprecedented,” commending the “will” of the nations gathered and the “tireless efforts” of the Iraqi parliament speaker Mohammad Al-Halbousi in bringing them all together.
