At a spirited police graduation ceremony, Ali Al-Zaydi, Iraq's Minister of Interior, made firm and courageous remarks about the current state of the country. He emphasized that Iraq is neither a battlefield for others nor a source of attacks on neighbors, reminding all attendees that his country must be recognized as an independent entity committed to peace and security.
Response to External Threats
Ali Al-Zaydi stated at the ceremony: "We will not allow Iraq's land to become a battlefield for foreign powers. As a nation, we must trust one another and defend our territorial integrity and sovereignty." These remarks clearly demonstrate Iraq's determination to protect its independence and not allow any foreign interference.
The Minister of Interior also emphasized to the police forces that their duty is to protect national security and citizens. He said: "You must be ready to stand against any threats, whether internal or external, and assure the people that their security is in your hands."
Cooperation with Neighbors
Ali Al-Zaydi also pointed out the importance of cooperation with neighbors, stating: "We are ready to establish friendly relations based on mutual respect with our neighbors, but this does not mean tolerance towards any threats." These statements clearly reflect a new approach in Iraq's foreign policy based on respect for national sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of countries.
Ali Al-Zaydi's words are seen as a strong message to the international community as well as neighboring countries. It seems that Iraq will soon face new challenges, but with this national resolve, it appears that Iraqi citizens are ready to confront any threats.
