Sisi Wishes Iraqis Peace, Security, Stability

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi congratulated Friday Iraq on the centenary of the founding of the modern Iraqi state, according to his official social media accounts.

"The brothers in Iraq celebrate today an occasion that I consider dear to the entire Arab nation. It is the centenary of the founding of the modern Iraqi state," Sisi wrote.

He added that "One hundred years have passed since the Cairo Conference in 1921, which inaugurated the establishment of the Iraqi state, as an extension of an ancient civilization rooted in the depths of history."

"One hundred years witnessed many things. One of the historical stations in the march of Iraq, the Arab nation, and indeed the whole world."

He noted that "On my own behalf and on behalf of the Egyptian people, we congratulate brotherly Iraq on this precious occasion, and we wish peace, security and stability to its great and proud people, and that Iraq will always remain an asset for the Arab nation."
