Al-Sudani requires the approval of the Iraqi government to visit official foreign delegations

The Ministerial Council for National Security in Iraq decided this evening, Wednesday, to prevent all official bodies from visiting or receiving official foreign delegations, except with the knowledge and approval of the government, and in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Otherwise, these cases will be dealt with in accordance with the laws in force.

The Council also decided, during a session held under the chairmanship of Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Iraqi Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, "to form an investigation committee against the security and intelligence agencies that did not implement the National Security Council's decision regarding canceling the security checks of citizens in the liberated areas, and holding the negligent to account."

 During the meeting, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces stressed "the importance of the role played by the Council as the supreme authority in the country responsible for the security decision."

He warned that "the supreme goal of law enforcement still faces political, social and economic challenges, which must be accompanied by tangible success at the service level."

Al-Sudani said, "There are parties at home and abroad who are bothered by the fact that Iraq is witnessing an achievement at the national level, so the more we progress in the steps of providing services, we will face more security challenges."

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces called on "the security authorities to show the required toughness to face these challenges, and that no party is above the law."

"It is imperative that we strengthen the civilian character of the state, which contradicts the trend of militarization of cities," he said.
