1:06:45Now PlayingChallenges and Opportunities for Iraq’s New Government
Iraq ushered in a new government in October 2022 under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The government’s agenda will have to address governance and corruption issues, high unemployment, depreciation of the Iraqi dinar, amid other challenges. Increasing revenue from higher oil prices and the successful organization of the 25th Gulf Cup have provided a financial, public and diplomatic boost to Iraq ahead of upcoming meetings with the United States under the bilateral Strategic Framework Agreement.
On February 10, USIP hosted a discussion with Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein during his first visit to the United States since assuming his role under the new government. The conversation looked at the current situation and challenges in Iraq 20 years into its journey to democracy, especially strengthening governance, developing the economy, combating climate change and countering the remaining threat of ISIS. Additionally, the discussion tackled the country’s role in regional and international affairs, the outlook for U.S.-Iraq relations and the Strategic Framework Agreement, and areas where policymakers and the international community can support potential solutions for a stable and prosperous Iraq.
