Iran Press/ Middle East: More than 250 members attended the session in Baghdad and passed 15 ministers while rejecting five – those for trade, justice, culture, agriculture, and migration, as reported by the National.
"My Cabinet has earned Parliament’s support and we will work to earn the trust and support of the Iraqi people," Al-Kazemi tweeted.
"I am grateful to those who worked with us to form the government," he added, "I urge all political actors to come together around a national program to serve Iraq's interests."
During his address to Parliament, he pledged to hold transparent and early elections, to restrict access to weapons and to curb corruption.
This is a government that will provide a solution, not add to the crises," Al-Kazemi said.
He said his plan would end foreign interference and “not allow any country to violate Iraq’s national sovereignty”.
