The European Union congratulates Prime Minister Mohammad Al-Sudani on the successful vote of confidence for his Government in the Parliament of Iraq.
This is a good day for Iraq, for EU-Iraq relations, and an important step towards securing Iraq's stability and prosperity.
The European Union looks forward to working closely with the Prime Minister and his Government, and supporting the implementation of the announced reform programme, and the fight against corruption.
In this context, the European Union reiterates its readiness to host the EU-Iraq Cooperation Council at the earliest opportunity.
The Prime Minister's commitment to a balanced foreign policy and good relations with all of Iraq's neighbours opens a positive prospect for the future.
The European Union will continue to support Iraq, including Iraq's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
