This day embodies the meanings of independence and national dignity, and affirms Iraq's right to manage its own affairs, safeguard its national decisions, and preserve its security, stability, and territorial integrity." He continued, "Sovereignty is a comprehensive national responsibility based on respecting the constitution and the law, strengthening state institutions, establishing justice, protecting its resources and the capabilities of its people, and preserving its national decisions free from all foreign interference. Iraq has a history..." With its rich history, vast human and economic resources, Iraq deserves to be a strong, stable, and scientifically advanced nation, prosperous in its economy.

He added that this day is to celebrate the dignity of the homeland and its decision-making, and that sovereignty is the blood of the martyrs that watered the land of this great country, the land of glory and values.
