Al-hassan: Mohammed Al-Hassan, the UN Secretary-General's representative in Iraq, affirmed that the UN mission in Iraq (UNAMI) had been successfully completed, describing Iraq as "a success story and a unique country in a turbulent region."

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Al-Hassan stated in a press release that the UN mission's establishment and its conclusion were both initiated at the request of the Iraqi people. He emphasized the respect the United Nations holds for the sovereignty and wishes of host nations concerning such missions.

Al-Hassan highlighted that the mission's successful completion involved addressing three critical issues: the missing persons from Kuwait and third-country nationals since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the matter of Kuwaiti property, and the Kuwaiti national archives. He noted that recent months have seen slight progress, with over four hundred boxes of Kuwaiti belongings being returned. However, he acknowledged that the issue of missing Kuwaitis remains a significant humanitarian concern.

He further detailed Iraq's achievements, noting that Iraqis now have the freedom to vote without pressure, marking a milestone in the nation's history. Al-Hassan credited the international coalition, in coordination with Iraqis, for the successful defeat of ISIS, acknowledging the significant sacrifices made by Iraqis.

Al-Hassan expressed optimism about Iraq's future, mentioning the potential for an Iraqi-led Marshall Plan to redefine the country's global standing without external influence. He stressed the importance of fostering a sense of equal citizenship among all Iraqis, regardless of religious or ethnic backgrounds, to enhance national unity.

He also addressed the challenges faced, particularly the setbacks due to security concerns. Despite these challenges, Iraq has achieved a state of safety and security. Al-Hassan emphasized the priority of improving women's rights and human rights in Iraq, referencing the progressive Iraqi Personal Status Law of 1957, which granted women rights ahead of many other Arab nations.
