First Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, discussed with the Ambassador of Sweden, Jessica Svardstrom, the bilateral relations between the two countries, and the need to develop them in various fields and in the interest of the two peoples.
Al-Mandalawi, according to a statement by his office, expressed his appreciation for Sweden’s hosting of a very large Iraqi community.
He said: One of the most important goals of Iraq’s foreign policies is to strengthen its relations with all countries of the world according to agreements and memorandums of understanding and to benefit from these legal frameworks in rebuilding infrastructure and opening up to foreign investment and benefiting from the experiences of those countries in implementing programs to combat desertification, climate change and environmental protection. He called for activating the work of the Iraqi-Swedish Friendship Committee and increasing cooperation at the parliamentary level.
