During the meeting, according to a statement received by {Al-Furat News}, Al-Sudani reiterated “the importance of the cultural and social diversity enjoyed by the Iraqi people, which represents a social wealth that supports communication between fraternal factions, and consolidates unity of ranks against extremism, which represents an ideology alien to our people and its history.” ".

Rais stressed the government's "continuous support for this diversity, and the strengthening of places of worship for all religions and sects and freedom of practices in them, and throughout Iraq, which is full of mosques, Islamic mosques, Christian churches, Sabian-Mandaean and Yazidi temples, and the rest of the components of the Iraqi spectrum."

Al-Sudani mentioned, “The attempt of terrorism to dismantle this heritage and historical fabric, and the victory of the Iraqis and their overcoming that ordeal, and the recovery that Iraq is now going through in various fields, just as the world has realized the importance of Iraq’s stability for international and regional security, and what the government has followed in its program strengthening the principle of government of services and community care.”

“And setting priorities in public service, economic reform, combating corruption, and fighting poverty and unemployment, to enhance the value of citizenship.”

The Prime Minister addressed "the events in Gaza and the continued brutal aggression against our Palestinian people, stressing Iraq's firm and principled position, and stating that the government is working with the countries of the region to prevent the expansion of the conflict arena, in addition to continuing to send relief and humanitarian aid."

Tishwash: This is in Iraqi news

Japan.. New banknotes using "3D" images

Japan is set to issue new banknotes that will use, for the first time in the world, advanced holograms, as an anti-counterfeiting measure.

The Japanese Kyodo News Agency said that this change is the first in the design of Japanese currency in 20 years, explaining that the size of the printing of the face value numbers on the new 10,000-yen, 5,000-yen and 1,000-yen banknotes will be larger than on the current issues, so that all people can easily recognize them, while the tactile marks will make it easier for the visually impaired to know their value.

The process of printing currencies using the new technology is scheduled to begin next Wednesday.

By the end of March next year, approximately 7.5 billion new banknotes will be printed.

Kyodo quoted the government as confirming that the current banknotes will remain valid even after the new banknotes are introduced  link
