Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al-Safadi said, on Saturday, that all Jordanians, led by King Abdullah II, support Iraq’s efforts to achieve their national interests, and the king has always called on the international community and its active forces to support Iraq.

He added, in a speech to him at the thirty-fourth conference of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union held in Baghdad, that Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah, at the Arab summit held recently in Algeria, had the same royal vision by emphasizing that the stability and security of Iraq is a pillar for the security and stability of the region, and it is our duty Supporting the brothers until they return to their main role in their Arab environment.

Al-Safadi continued: “This is Jordan, a blank page, with no equivocation. We are with Iraq, we were and still are and we will remain with its people and all its political, ethnic and religious components, whose diversity we see as a point of strength as long as everyone presents the Iraqi interest over other narrow interests, yes. This is Jordan, which stood by its brothers in various ordeals, based on the brotherly duty towards its brother, so it endured and continues to prefer itself despite its poverty, and it did not trade in Arab blood, and its land was not an arena for agency wars, programs and suspicious deals, but rather paid the price for its steadfastness And his steadfastness behind the descendant of the Hashemite Doha, His Majesty King Abdullah II, the guardian of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.”

And he stressed that “the security of Iraq and the Arab Gulf is an integral part of our Arab national security, and here we affirm our stand by the rights of the brothers in Egypt and Sudan regarding the issue of the Renaissance Dam, and we also support all efforts for the unity and stability of Yemen and Libya, and we must take an active position in Arab solidarity and stand by the issues Our just nation, and here the wound of Palestine is still bleeding from vein to vein, as the occupier continues to abuse our people in Nablus and continues to confiscate lands, expand settlements, and violate the sanctity of sanctities. .

Here is what Safadi said:

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful

And prayers and peace be upon the faithful Arab Hashemite Prophet

Ladies and gentlemen, heads and members of parliaments and councils participating in the work of the conference

May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you

The Almighty said: My Lord, make this a safe country and provide its people with fruits. Great truth of God

This is the supplication of our master Ibrahim, the ancestor of the prophets who inhabited Iraq..this great country that we meet today in the hospitality of its honorable people, the people of brotherhood and those who are loyal to their nation

Before I started, the title of the conference stopped me at length, and it was hard for me to say that Iraq needs to strengthen its stability and sovereignty, and here I say that Iraq is free and fully sovereign and its great people have a history of glory and heroism against colonialism and occupation.

Iraq does not need support to enhance its stability and sovereignty, as much as it needs others to leave it alone and to stop interfering in its internal affairs.

And yet

Hello, O Iraq, I come to you from the Amman of Arabism, Jordan, the margins and the dear people, carrying my heart in my palms with respect, peace, and love for your great people, from Anbar to Karbala and from Najaf to Samarra, and the waters of the Euphrates flow in streams in our veins, and when the nation’s thirst is quenched, there is no good that can compare to the Tigris with generosity and benevolence. .

I am pleased to meet in Baghdad of Arabism, to affirm our support for all Iraqi efforts aimed at achieving the aspirations of the great sons of Mesopotamia, and talking about supporting Iraq involves many determinants. Wishes, speeches and words do not build homelands, and do not achieve development and prosperity, nor the hoped-for cooperation between the countries of our nation

We in Jordan are certain with certainty that a secure, stable, unified Iraq constitutes the interest of the entire Arab nation. Otherwise, as we have seen in past years, the wounded Iraq was bleeding the entire nation, as the land of Mesopotamia is the beating heart of the nation, just as the Levant is its side, and it is Which we experienced with its wound, how weakness crept into the memory of the entire nation, for the Levant is the title of the nation’s history, glory and civilization, and it is the one on which the wounds continued after the catastrophe of the painful earthquake, which requires us to intensify aid and relief for its indigenous people, but I demand today that Syria return to its Arab incubator as an active member Influencing the Arab decision and its various institutions.

All Jordanians, led by King Abdullah II, support Iraq’s efforts to achieve their national interests, and the King has always called on the international community and its active forces to support Iraq.

Also, the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah, at the Arab summit that was held recently in Algeria, had the same royal vision by stressing that the stability and security of brotherly Iraq is a pillar of the region’s security and stability, and it is our duty to support the brothers until they return to their main role in their Arab environment.

Accordingly, it was King Abdullah II and his brother, His Excellency President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, and the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani

In Jordan, a few months ago, they completed the projects and initiatives of the Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership in order to achieve the goals of economic integration, the idea of ​​which we hope will extend to the rest of the countries of our nation, and it is a noble goal that Jordan has always believed in and called for in order to strengthen Arab solidarity.

This is Jordan, a white page, there is no equivocation about it, we are with Iraq, we were and still are and we will remain with its people and all its political, ethnic and religious components, whose diversity we see as a point of strength as long as everyone gives priority to the Iraqi interest over other narrow interests. Yes, this is the Jordan that He stood by his brothers in various ordeals, out of a brotherly duty towards his brother

He endured and still preferred himself despite his poverty, and he did not trade in Arab blood, nor was his land an arena for proxy wars, programs and suspicious deals, but rather he paid the price for his steadfastness and steadfastness behind the descendant of the Hashemite Doha, King Abdullah II, the guardian of the Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen

As I started my talk about the determinants and indicators of Arab support for the brothers in Iraq, I summarize them in six determinants, namely:

First: Belief first that Iraq, with its history, its great people, and its solid will, does not need anyone to look at it. This is the land of thinkers, scholars, and academics, and the cradle of civilizations. Here were the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians, and here were the cradle of religions and the home of the grandfather of the prophets, Abraham, peace be upon him. Iraq, as I said at the beginning of my speech He does not need support as much as he needs others to leave him alone, and we in Jordan have a clear position not to prejudice Iraqi sovereignty by all parties and regional and international powers.

It is a position that strengthens the unity of Iraqi lands, the protection of its people, and its security and stability. We, in turn, stand in the face of any danger that threatens the security and safety of Iraq, and we believe that its security and stability are part of the security and stability of Jordan, but rather of the security and stability of the entire region.

Second: Keenness to support the government of Dr. Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, who is the man coming from the womb of national consensus and seeking to complete and strengthen the process of Iraqi national construction through a multi-objective program whose primary goal is the interest of Iraq and the strengthening of its sovereignty, and we affirm here that we in Jordan stand with all our capabilities alongside the brothers in their efforts to protect their national interests.

Third: The countries of our nation and it is our duty as parliamentarians to prepare the legislative environment to achieve comprehensive and complementary development with Iraq and work to build partnerships with it in many sectors including energy, water, electrical interconnection, food and health security, transportation and infrastructure projects.

Fourth: Emphasizing the principles of good neighborliness, non-interference in internal affairs, respect for international law, adopting dialogue as a way to resolve differences, rejecting the use of Iraqi lands for regional and international conflicts, and replacing them with cooperation and economic integration. This meaning, without a doubt, constitutes a starting point for a new and logical understanding of regional relations, and we hope that May God contribute to achieving security, stability and prosperity for Iraq and the countries of the region.

Fifth: We have all lived through difficult, complex and painful stages in the history of the region

But our standing together in the face of ISIS and terrorist organizations was one of the testimonies of our common security, our one future, and the common interests of our peoples.

We affirm here that efforts to combat terrorism are at the top of the Jordanian agenda and support for Iraq in confronting terrorist groups is one of the constants of the Jordanian state under the leadership of King Abdullah II, and Jordan will not accept compromising the security of Iraq and the Iraqis.

Sixth: Emphasizing that the security of Iraq and the Arabian Gulf is an integral part of our Arab national security, and that what necessarily affects any Arab country is harmful to other countries. Yemen and Libya, and we must take an active stand in Arab solidarity and stand by the just causes of our nation, and here the wound of Palestine is still bleeding from vein to vein, as the occupier continues to abuse our people in Nablus and continues to confiscate lands and expand settlements, and violate the sanctity of sanctities, which necessitates our position in an Arab parliament that rejects For all these practices and addressing the Islamic and international parliaments to expose the occupation in various forums

And speaking of Palestine, the blood of the martyrs of the Jordanian army mixed with the blood of the martyrs of the Iraqi army in the various battles of defending the pure land of Palestine, and the tombs of the Iraqi martyrs in Mafraq governorate in my homeland are still a witness to the unity of blood and destiny

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen

These are the determinants in which I see a clear way to stand beside the great Iraq, which presents every day leaders in thought and politics who have proven that they are up to the level of responsibility and challenges. A goal and purpose in achieving the benefit of the peoples of our nation, a heart-to-heart greeting to my brother, His Excellency Muhammad Al-Halbousi.

before closing

The strings of the heart vibrate with joy as we see the sons of our nation in the Levant, the Gulf and the Arab Maghreb meeting here in Baghdad glory and history, so love for Iraq flows through the veins and it bears in the opening of its constitution that this great people: is the son of Mesopotamia, the home of the apostles and prophets, the resting place of the pure imams, the cradle of civilization and the makers of writing And the pioneers of agriculture, the authors of numbering, on the land of Iraq, the first law developed by man was enacted, and in it the most ancient just covenants of homeland policy were written.

And above its soil, the righteous companions prayed, philosophers and scholars theorized, and writers and poets excelled.

In Iraq, my people, a people preached their tomorrow for their yesterday, minarets and bells will embrace calmness, and the Iraqis will unite as they united in the revolution of the twenties

And they will all stand with reverence, love, and sincerity before the values ​​and sacrifices of Imam Ali and our master Al-Hussein, Imam Al-Kadhim, Imam Abi Hanifa Al-Numan, and Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal.

And Maysan, Dhi Qar, Wasit, Kirkuk, Nineveh, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, and Dohuk, and to Baghdad, the landing place of the heart’s passion, a thousand greetings and peace.

Peace, mercy and blessings of God

The “Kingdom” correspondent said that the main title of this conference was the support of these countries for the sovereignty of Iraq and its return to its Arab surroundings, but the words put forward by the Speakers of Parliament who participated in this conference emphasized important points, the first of which is the Palestinian issue, which constituted the main element in it, especially the denunciation of what It is happening in Jerusalem, specifically in Nablus, and there is a need for an Arab reaction to the events that are taking place, specifically in Jerusalem.

The “Kingdom” correspondent indicated that the Syrian issue was present in the speech of the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, who stressed the need for Syria to be returned to its Arab incubator, especially since the official participation of Syria was present in the Speaker of the People’s Assembly, Hammoud Al-Sabbagh, who stressed that what Syria is going through is A difficult situation.

He continued: It is possible that the conference prepares a final statement on the outcomes of the conference, which demanded that there be a common Arab position towards Arab issues, specifically the Palestinian issue, as well as the situation in Syria and Yemen.
