 He added, "We find in Al-Kadhimi's invitation an occasion to activate a serious dialogue consistent with the aspirations of the people and their desire to overcome the crises and sufferings and establish a new stage."

Al-Kadhimi said in a speech today, "the government is committed to the will of the people to attain security, peace, reconstruction, and prosperity," calling the different components, sects, and nationalities to join hands as "Pope and Sayyid al-Sistani's hands joined."

 Al-Kadhimi called on the political forces and parties to "prevail the interests of the homeland, shun the language of convulsive rhetoric and political retraction, and work for the success of early elections  to restore the people's faith and confidence in the state and the democratic system."
