He stated that Iraq has worked, and continues to work, to ensure that it is not a platform for aggression against any regional party, emphasizing its commitment to a balanced policy based on de-escalation and openness, and to creating a supportive environment for dialogue among various parties, particularly the dialogue between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The President added that Iraq believes regional stability cannot be achieved without adopting political solutions and constructive dialogue, noting that research and policy centers play a pivotal role in bridging viewpoints and formulating visions that help address crises.
