Iraqi President & Migration Minister

On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, the President of the Republic of Iraq, Dr. Abdullatif Jamal Rashid, met with the Minister of Migration and Displacement, Mrs. Ivan Faiq Jabro, at Baghdad Palace.

During the discussion, President Rashid highlighted the importance of creating a suitable environment that ensures the secure and steady return of the IDPs to their respective regions through the rehabilitation and reconstruction of their places, as well as the eradication of any remnants and ideologies left by terrorist groups.

President Rashid expressed that the presence of displacement camps is no longer suitable, particularly since the reasons and justifications for their establishment have vanished. He stressed the need to unite all efforts to ensure the success of the Iraqi Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government's initiatives in resolving this issue and permanently shutting down the displacement camps. He emphasised the need for United Nations organisations to execute their responsibilities and meet their obligations in a constructive manner that aids in resolving this matter.

Ms. Jabro discussed recent developments in IDPs and the steps taken to ensure their basic needs for a decent standard of living. At the same time, she appreciated President Rashid's interest in this matter and the beneficial recommendations he offered.
