On Iraqi Army Day, the values of victory and steadfastness are embodied and images of national cohesion are renewed in the face of terrorism and evil forces and the defence of Iraq’s land, people, history, present and future. We congratulate our valiant army and its formations and ranks on the 104th anniversary, and on this occasion we draw inspiration from the heroics, sacrifices and victories that our sacrificial heroes have forged and are forging in protecting our country and defending its capabilities in all circumstances and challenges in which Iraqis unite in defence of their sacred homeland.
