Chinese envoy calls for more support for Iraq
UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy on Wednesday asked the international community to help Iraq fight terrorism and rebuild its economy while respecting the country's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
As Iraq is planning to hold early elections in June 2021, the political process in Iraq is at a crucial stage. The international community should respect Iraq's ownership and leadership in all its endeavors, said Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations.
When lending a helping hand, it is important to first listen to the views of Iraq, respect its sovereignty, refrain from imposing solutions and interfering in Iraq's internal affairs, he told the Security Council.
Geng asked for support for Iraq's efforts to safeguard national security and combat terrorism.
"We call on the international community to continue to support Iraq in consolidating the hard-won results of counter-terrorism and addressing the issue of foreign terrorist fighters. We should also support Iraq in bringing terrorists to justice in accordance with its domestic laws, and reject double standards and politicization in counter-terrorism."
The international community should help Iraq address current challenges and boost socio-economic development, said Geng.
The war-torn country is now confronted with economic and fiscal hardships, exacerbated by low oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. The international community must intensify efforts to help Iraq carry out reconstruction, diversify its economy, create more jobs, eradicate poverty, and improve public services and livelihoods, he said.

8-26-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 ...the biggest thing that came out of this meeting [The Washington Meeting], actually is two things. 1. A commitment from Kazemi to Donald Trump that Iraq will de-dollarize and 2. The acceptance that they are going to announce that they have a change in their exchange rate. That they have added value to their currency. That's the only reason why you see Donald Trump give all these contracts to Kazemi. Why didn't they hand them out before? The week before? The month before? The year before? They didn't qualify for it. The "white papers" have been all checked off. Every benchmark on those "white papers" is done. Now the question is Kazemi...Are you ready to make the announcement of everything that is in those "white papers"? ...we do not have the authority to tell them to raise the value of their currency. Their bank. Their government. Their Prime Minister. Their Leaders. They're the ones that make that decision.
8-26-2020 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] The news is painfully quiet out of banking centers right now...I am told they have a set schedule now and its rolling out quickly. They are really leaning on banking folks to stay quiet.
8-26-2020 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Articles: "The Council of Ministers holds its regular session headed by Al-Kazemi"; "Al-Kazemi: The challenges are great and we have an opportunity to take the country to the right path" Kazzammie is back from the US. By all reports, his meeting with President Trump went well...the feeling is pretty simple - moving on, moving forward, the future is bright. ...Kazzammie is not only back from a potentially important meeting, but he is back and right back to it...Overall, we have so much to be positive about - the new PM in Iraq is just cruising along, accomplishing things, crushing it. The riots and protests that came before him are a thing of the past. There is a standing agreement regarding the Budget that is on track to be set in stone, and believe it or not... we're talking about agreements happening ahead of normal schedule. This is like no other time in Iraq's recent history, and it's pretty exciting...GOOOO RRRRRRRVVVVV!!!!!
8-26-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 ...I'm of the point of view that it can happen at any moment. I believe that the rate can be changed because it's already changed. All that is needed is for the rate change to be announced...I know Donald Trump met with Kazemi for the purpose of talking about the currency of their country. One of the biggest things that came out of this meeting IMO is a commitment from Kazemi...Kazemi has promised Donald Trump to de-dollarize Iraq...
8-26-2020 Intel Guru RayRen98 [...Bank Appointments this week?] I'M HEARING OF SEVERAL TAKING PLACE THIS WEEK...PROGRESS IN THE MAKING!
8-26-2020 Intel Guru Frank26 ...this cannot happen with a non-sovereign country. This cannot happen with a non-sovereign currency. All of this business, all of these contracts...Donald Trump is a businessman...as the days go by, as the weeks go by we're going to learn more and more about what Trump has given to Kazemi for Iraq. We're going to learn more and more about these meetings...Trump wants to see dollar signs...Trump wants the end results to be the black ink. We don't want no red. Trump wants to see dollar signs. This is all about business...Iraq's economy is about to explode nuclear.
8-26-2020 Intel Guru Delta What do you thin is the importance of Kurdistan traveling with Kazemi to come to Washington D.C.? That's really significant...this is the first time I see Kurdistan traveling with the official government from central Baghdad...I think this is very huge...it gives you indication that there are unity between them. You know if they're not happy you'll never see them traveling all the way down to the U.S...you know what's going to make them more united right? The new currency...lower denominations...have the Kurdish language on it...that part too is going to unite the whole country...so this is a major and a huge significant part for them to join the government with the negotiation and those contracts with the U.S...
8-26-2020 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...President Trump is mandating that the Iranian militias be disbanded and guns taken away. Folks, this is what we have been waiting for since 2014. This is WOW news. It is about time. But this would not have happened without Trump. So we let this play out and watch the stability come back to Iraq slowly. This will lead to a climate that they can then rebuild the country and their economy.

Al-Kazemi government is preparing a budget for only three months
The Iraqi government announced, on Wednesday, that it is working on preparing the general budget for the remaining three months of the current year.
Talal pointed out that "the degrees of deletion and creation will be allocated to holders of higher degrees and employees with contracts and wages in state institutions."
It is noteworthy that the sending of the federal budget for the year 2020, by the government to the Iraqi parliament, has been delayed as a result of the continuous protests since last October, which led to the resignation of the previous government headed by Adel Abdul Mahdi and its transformation into a caretaker government whose powers are not to send the draft financial budget law to Parliament .
Earlier, the Iraqi Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, ruled out approving the general budget for the year 2020 and confirmed that his ministry is working on preparing the 2021 budget.
The fall in oil prices due to the Corona pandemic has caused a financial deficit, while the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed last July that the fiscal deficit of the 2021 budget bill is estimated according to financial revenues and oil prices.
