The new Iraqi Government has assumed office as 14 members of the Cabinet
selected by Mr. Adil Abdulmehdi who was designated to form the government
following the Iraqi parliamentary elections on 12 May 2018, secured vote of
confidence. We wish that the new Government will be to the benefit of the
friendly and brotherly people of Iraq.
We hope that the new government will take steps to meet the expectations of
the Iraqi people, who have experienced great sufferings and difficulties in
recent years. In this context, we believe that inclusive practices
embracing all components of the Iraqi people will contribute to the
protection of the territorial integrity and political unity of Iraq and
help to achieve sustainable stability in the country.
We expect that the remaining members of the Cabinet who are yet to be
approved, would be selected with this understanding.
Turkey stands ready to work with the new government to promote peace,
security and stability in Iraq and to contribute to its reconstruction
efforts.
