South-central governors meet to discuss issues

 

Al Hilla, Babil.  The six governors of the South-Central Region met today to discuss important issues for their provinces.  The Governors represented Al Anbar, Babil, Karbala, An Najaf, Al Qadisiyah, and Wasit.  The meeting signifies an important step forward in self-government for the Iraqi people.

The governors remain committed to addressing the needs of the people.  Some of the issues discussed included power, security, employment, tourism, and the border.  The six governors organized their ideas in a letter that will be delivered to Ambassador Bremer.

Today’s successful meeting represents an important milestone for Iraq as it continues on the road to full democracy.  Said one of the governors, “Democracy is a valuable thing…we must work together to build and protect our freedom.” 

The governors plan to meet again in one month to share more ideas with each other.
