"During the short mandate of this government, we executed many projects in the sector of roads and bridges. Baghdad-Hillah road, Basmaya road, many bridges in Nasiriyah and Mosul, in addition to vital projects."

"We look forward to completing those projects in the next year. The upcoming government shall put more work to build more roads and bridges."
