President of the Republic of Iraq Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid praised the Vatican’s role in supporting Iraq's security and stability through messages advocating tolerance and peaceful coexistence.

Referencing the visit, President Rashid conveyed once again his gratitude to His Holiness the Pope for his gracious hospitality and for the welcoming reception. He also expressed his appreciation for the concern shown by the Holy Father for the people of Iraq.
