‏Al-Halboosi receives a delegation of elders and dignitaries of Babil province

‏The Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halboosi, on Sunday, received a delegation of elders and dignitaries of Babil province, in the presence of the governor, the Chairman of the Provincial Council and its Commander of police.

‏At the beginning of the meeting, H.E. extended congratulation on the inclusion of the Babylonian ruins on the World Heritage List, saying that this achievement requires more efforts to provide the necessary requirements to support this vital facility by providing infrastructure such as hotels and airport for the province to be the main resources supporting its economy through hiring workers and attracting tourists and investors, stressing the work of the House of Representatives in coordination with the government to provide all support for this file.

‏The Speaker discussed the service file of the province and delaying projects in previous years because of the decrease in the financial income of the Iraqi state, stressing his keenness to provide the necessary services to citizens in all districts and townships, as well as providing the necessary requirements for the return of displaced persons to the province.

‏H.E. affirmed the importance of intensifying the efforts to restore stability to bring back the displaced persons who were security checked, stressing the need to differentiate between the displaced and convicted of terrorism, who must receive their fair judgment under the law and support the return of innocent people to their areas with appropriate conditions which require efforts of both central and local governments as well as the legislative authority, pointing out that a plan must be drawn up for the return of displaced persons starting within the province of those security checked, followed by steps to check those who were displaced outside, and to end the file of displacement and the closure of the camps; so as not to be subject to the arrival of radical thought to the minds of women and children, posing a future threat to the country.

‏The Parliament Speaker also discussed the importance of the role of clans in supporting the security forces to impose security in the province, and restore the national cohesion between tribes and their sons, and continue cooperation between citizens and security forces in order to achieve stability.
