Iraq's Stability Pillar for Europe in Macron's Message

In Spring 2026, President Macron confirmed his full support for Prime Minister-designate Ali Al-Zaidy in his new national mission. He noted in May 2026 the importance of bilateral cooperation between Baghdad and Paris to face current regional security and political challenges. In mid-May 2026, he urged the upcoming government to prioritize pending military investigation files concerning the French side. This 2026 congratulation reflects international interest in the democratic transition and constitutional institution-building in Iraq.
