Doghmi told a joint press conference with his Iraqi
counterpart that they held “successful and fruitful” discussions in which they
agreed on the importance of expediting the implementation of joint cooperation
projects between Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan towards achieving strategic
integration between the three countries.
He said that Jordan and Iraq saw eye to eye on the
Palestinian issue, joint action, and parliamentary coordination at regional and
international forums.
Halbousi stressed the importance of solving regional
problems without foreign intervention and removing obstacles to bilateral and
trilateral cooperation with Egypt to serve the common interests of “our
peoples”.
He called for proceeding with implementation of
signed agreements in commercial and industrial fields, electrical
interconnection, and construction of an oil pipeline from the Iraqi port of
Basra to the Jordanian Port of Aqaba, as well as joint coordination to face the
global food crisis.
Commenting on the resignation of 73 deputies of
cleric
Moqtada Al-Sadr’s bloc from the Iraqi parliament and the prospects of
forming the next government, Halbousi said that Iraqi political forces will
work in the next stage under new understandings, assuring that the current
political stalemate is heading to an end.
He underlined his keenness on strengthening
relations with Jordan in various fields, commending the Kingdom’s support of
Iraqi anti-terrorism efforts.
Halbousi arrived in Amman Sunday on an official
visit heading a parliamentary delegation, comprising the heads of Iraqi
political blocs.
