Maliki Steps Aside and Supports Al-Abadi
August 14, 2014
Press
Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of
State
Washington, DC
We commend the
important and honorable decision by Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki to support Prime Minister-designate Haider
Al-Abadi in his efforts to form a new government and develop
a national program in line with Iraq’s constitutional
timeline. This milestone decision sets the stage for a
historic and peaceful transition of power in Iraq.
We
urge Mr. Abadi and all Iraqi leaders to move expeditiously
to complete this process, which is essential to pulling the
country together and consolidating the efforts of Iraq’s
many diverse communities against the common threat posed by
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Consistent with
our Strategic Framework Agreement, the United States stands
ready to partner with a new and inclusive government to
counter this threat, and we will encourage other countries
in the region and international community to do the
same.
