Jordan welcomes Iraqis' choice
AMMAN (JT) — Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher
welcomed the appointment of Ghazi Al Yawar as Iraq's new president.
“We accept the choice made by the Governing Council,” Muasher told a press
conference.
Urging Arab countries to help Iraqis regain sovereignty, the minister said a
larger UN role is important in the upcoming phase to supervise the process of
elections, slated to begin next year. The UN would help create a climate of
trust for free and honest elections, Muasher added.
