The existence of equal opportunity in the participation in the political process for all Iraqi people is the committed assurance to protect the unity of Iraq, its independence and sovereignty. We hope that formation of the new Iraq government will result in positive steps in the road of the political process towards its desired goal. We also see what deserve the appreciation in the procedures that have been undertaken by the transitional Iraq government. My country also support the outcome of the Istanbul meeting for the Iraq's neighboring countries which stressed on the protection of the sovereignty and unity of Iraq, land and people and the right and freedom of the Iraqi people for the self-determination and its control on its natural resources. Lebanon has witnessed a number of political developments of high importance of which we hope that will result in a bright future that achieves for Lebanon what it looks at in terms of freedom, sovereignty and independence. On its part, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has exerted constant efforts to help the Lebanese people to reach their ambitions and at the same time keep the historical and distinguished relations that link Lebanon with its neighboring sister Syria.--MOR1541 Local Time 1241 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/261554
