In view of the restoration of Iraq’s deserved role regionally and globally, and in line with the government’s direction towards strengthening its position and conveying the true, positive image of it, which has begun to take hold instead of the distorted one, due to the difficult circumstances that our ancient country was able to overcome with the determination and sacrifices of its people.
Iraq has submitted a request to host the 2025 Arab Summit in the capital, Baghdad, and the government seeks to complete the components of this hosting, in a way that suits the guests from the leaders of Arab countries, in accordance with diplomatic norms and in accordance with the status and reputation of the host country. Therefore, the government began preparing and securing the necessary supplies for this.
The isolation that Iraq suffered during the dictatorial regime, and our war against terrorism throughout the past era, did not provide the opportunity to rehabilitate the state’s basic infrastructure, allowing it to host important and large regional and global events, which missed many opportunities in which Iraq could have played an effective and influential role. In the international arena.
In view of the above and in order to prepare for the Arab Summit in Baghdad in 2025, and other international events related to Iraq, which were previously held in neighboring or regional countries for the reasons mentioned above, “and to end this abnormal situation,” there has become an urgent need to prepare the necessary infrastructure, including the rehabilitation of deteriorating government hospitality headquarters. Significantly and clearly visible.
After a document was circulated on social media platforms indicating the rehabilitation of a number of “homes,” it was necessary to note that the government had decided to comprehensively rehabilitate some of the presidential complexes, which include a number of major guest houses that were previously occupied by some ministers and representatives, which made them in need of renovation. Conducting a comprehensive maintenance and rehabilitation process. The Ministry of Construction and Housing prepared the required statements in accordance with their price and technical specifications, and the Ministry of Planning presented them to the Council of Ministers for approval, and approval was obtained by the esteemed Council’s decision on 2/7/2024.
We hope to be accurate in conveying information and to prevent those who seek to falsify the facts and harm the reputation of our dear country.
