Also in the day, Mohammed al-Halbousi, speaker of the Iraqi Council of Representatives (parliament), expressed in a congratulatory message the "keenness of the legislative authority to support the independence of the military institution to be far from political tendencies."
Al-Halbousi pledged to "work with the government to have a strong army, and we will support the conclusion of relevant agreements in the interest of enhancing its (army) capabilities."
On Jan. 6, 1921, Iraq established its first battalion of the modern army by the British during their mandate over the country after World War I.
During the past years, the Iraqi army with other security forces have fought fiercely against the Islamic State group and liberated all the Iraqi lands in late 2017, after the extremist group seized large swathes of Iraqi territories in mid-2017 in northern and western Iraq.
