Highlights from the interview of President Dr. Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid with the Middle East newspaper:

 The return of Trump is an important step towards resolving conflicts in the world and the Middle East.

 Iraq is now free of terrorist operations, with remaining terrorism limited to a few pockets.

 Our relations with the United States are good, and we thank the U.S. for their support in fighting the terrorist organization ISIS.

 U.S. forces are present under bilateral agreements at the request of the Iraqi government and in coordination and consultation with political forces in Iraq.

 The factions are now under government control through measures taken by the relevant authorities to end any combat activities under these circumstances.

Iran is an important country, and our relations with it are good, but we are the decision-makers in Iraq and are not under the control or will of any country.

Our region is historical and cultural, one of the most important areas, rich in natural resources more than any neighboring regions. Therefore, we should enjoy our resources, security, and peace, and work on solving the problems of neighboring countries.

 We have tried to contribute to finding solutions to the situation in Syria during the era of Bashar al-Assad's regime several times. Syria is an important country in the Middle East, sharing borders with several countries in the region. Unfortunately, the Assad regime did not invest in our attempts. We supported Syria's return to the Arab League and tried to bridge the gap between the former Syrian regime and various factions.

We wish the new administration in Syria success in improving the situation, but things are not yet clear.

We share long borders with Syria, and the reality is that there are a large number of terrorist organizations on the Iraqi-Syrian border, which concerns us. The international community should work on finding radical solutions to the crisis of terrorists in detention camps who hold different nationalities.

 The water crisis exists at present, and solutions are also available. I believe the solutions are easy if there is a genuine and serious intention to solve this problem.

 There are three main factors contributing to the water crisis: neighboring countries, climate, and improving water management in Iraq.
