Al-Halboosi visits Defence Ministry

 

The Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halboosi visited the Defence Ministry on Monday and was received by the Minister Najah al-Shammari and a number of commanders and officers.

His Excellency said that the House of Representatives supports the military establishment and the members of the Iraqi army of all categories and is working to legislate the necessary laws that contribute to its construction and development, stressing to meet their needs by strengthening their allocations in the next budget.

He said that his visit was an expression of this support and that there is a national consensus to reject all attempts to undermine it and its heroisms, and that detracting of its sacrifices is an offense to all of Iraq.

He added that the Iraqi army, which has underlined its history of defending the homeland and achieved a great victory on the terrorism on behalf of the whole world, which represented all Iraqis with all their affiliations, deserves all the respect and appreciation.

For his part, the Minister of Defence thanked the Parliament Speaker for his visit and his interest in the military establishment and support of its members, stressing that the members of the armed forces will remain the safety valve and the immune barrier on which the Iraqi state is based on and whole its people is protected by.
