Jen Psaki, Department Spokesperson,Washington, DC, October 18, 2014:
"We congratulate the Iraqi people and their
elected representatives in the Iraqi parliament on the selection of
seven new cabinet ministers today. These ministers, including new
Ministers of Defense, Finance, and Interior, represent the diversity of
Iraq, and complete an inclusive cabinet led by Prime Minister Abadi.
Significantly, this is the first time since 2010 that Iraq has had a
full cabinet with security ministers confirmed by the Iraqi parliament.
Today's vote is another important step in the long-term campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and restore stability to Iraq.
The United States looks forward to further strengthening our partnership with Prime Minister Abadi, his new cabinet, and the Iraqi people. We also look forward to working with all the new ministers, in the many fields outlined in our Strategic Framework Agreement, including security, economic, educational, and cultural cooperation. Our commitment to Iraq is long-term, and this new cabinet, representing all communities inside Iraq, is a key step in overcoming the many challenges confronting Iraq."
