Sayyid Al-Hakeem Calls to Protect Stability, Support Employees, Farmers, Contractors Facing Economic Challenges
His Eminence Sayyid Al-Hakeem, Head of the National State Powers’ Alliance, met with Sheikh Hatem Al-Assi Al-Obeidi and a gathering of sheikhs and dignitaries of the Obeid tribe and Kirkuk Governorate at the guesthouse of the late Sheikh Anwar Al-Assi, regarding Kirkuk as a city of national, religious, sectarian, and intellectual diversity, and calling for pride in Iraq, its history, civilization, standing, and potential.
H.E. explained that Iraq’s potential has brought challenges upon it, noting that the unity of Iraqis enabled them to overcome them, and drawing attention to the end of the mission of the International Coalition to Combat ISIS, regarding it as evidence of recovery, while Iraqis still face the test of strengthening partnership and being mindful of one another’s sensitivities, and affirming that today’s Iraq is different from the Iraq of 2011.
H.E. called for integrated efforts in confronting challenges, particularly the events in the region and the effects they have left on the Iraqi reality, commending all the efforts that preserved stability and the Iraqi achievement, pointing to the economic challenge resulting from regional events, stressing the need to pay the salaries of employees and the dues of farmers and contractors, and deeming the regional crisis likely to end soon because of the pressure it places on the global economy.
