Regarding the reform white paper adopted by the government, Al-Kazemi referred to the response it had received, and the economic and administrative reforms it contained, as well as its inclusion of reducing government expenditures.
Al-Kazemi assured the heads of French companies, "Iraq's keenness to create a solid economic partnership and its endeavor to sustain momentum in developing a real transition in the economy, just as it is keen to provide healthy and appropriate conditions for investment and address the obstacles it faces."
