He continued, “We pull our hands together in all areas of the country, to prove that Iraq in 2022 and the following years is a workshop for investment, construction, development, culture, eliminating corruption, and making peace, and that the limits of Iraqis’ ambitions, such as their stature, competencies and dear souls touch the sky.” Happy New Year./End 2
