CWN Editor's Note: Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi of Iraq said that the “return of Christians who were forced to leave the country due to the difficult circumstances Iraq endured is a national and government priority.”
“Iraq’s true strength lies in its national, religious, and cultural diversity, and in the unity, integration, and social cohesion of its people,” the prime minister said during a recent meeting with the new Chaldean Catholic Patriarch, Paul III Nona. “Christians are an active component, an essential part of Iraqi society, and a key partner in building the state and shaping Iraq’s history and future.”
