An American website reveals what Al-Kazemi brings to Iran and Saudi Arabia
 

 

18th July, 2020

An official source in the Iraqi government revealed today, Saturday, the program for the visit of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to Saudi Arabia and Iran, scheduled for the middle of this week.

The source, who requested anonymity, told the American Al-Hurra website that Al-Kazemi’s visit to Saudi Arabia will start on Monday, preceded by the arrival of a delegation from the coordination council between the two countries headed by the Iraqi Finance Minister Ali Allawi and other ministers.

He added that "visiting Riyadh will witness the signing of agreements and memoranda of understanding in the fields of energy and investment, and will be announced during the opening of the Arar border crossing with Saudi Arabia." He continued, "The visit will also discuss the financial pledges that Saudi Arabia promised to give to Iraq during the donors conference that was held in Kuwait in 2018, as well as the issue of the football field presented by the Saudi monarch to the Iraqi people."

During the conference, Saudi Arabia pledged to allocate one billion dollars for investment projects in Iraq and an additional 500 million dollars to support Iraqi exports.

The source confirmed that Al-Kazemi will also visit Tehran on Tuesday, immediately after the conclusion of his visit to Saudi Arabia, where files of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries and issues related to the supply of electrical energy will be discussed.

On the issue of groups loyal to Tehran in Iraq, the source said, "The Iraqi government is serious about confining arms to its hand and dealing with armed militias outside the framework of the state and out of law." He added, "Al-Kazemi will talk to the Iranians and ask them to raise their hand on some groups linked to them or who support them."

Tension between Al-Kazemi and pro-Tehran militias has escalated recently, against the background of the anti-terror forces arresting members of the Hezbollah Brigades militia last month on charges of planning to target the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad. The Iraqi source also revealed the timing of the upcoming visit of the Prime Minister of the United States to the United States, "which will take place in principle after Eid al-Adha," without specifying its date.

The source concluded his speech by emphasizing three basic criteria that will be followed by Al-Kazimi's visits to the countries concerned, which are stressing "Iraqi sovereignty and the interests of the people, and the common interests and benefits with any country with which we open or visit a page."

Al-Kazemi took over as prime minister in May after holding the position of head of the intelligence service for nearly four years, which helped him form diverse relationships. In addition to his friendship with the Saudi crown prince, Al-Kazemi also has good relations with Iranian intelligence services and government departments in the country, which could make him, according to observers, a mediator between the two regional rivals.

Al-Kazemi is also loved in Washington, which he will visit soon to pursue the strategic dialogue between Iraq and the United States. It will be the first time that an Iraqi prime minister has visited the White House in three years. US officials did not extend an invitation to former Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, whom they considered very close to Iran.
