The statement further stated “Prime Minister Al-Sudani expressed his gratitude to the tens of thousands of team members involved in the census, as well as the administrative, security, and technical teams that supported the effort, alongside ministries and governorates. Their contributions enabled the accomplishment of this significant step in planning for sustainable development, covering Iraq from north to south and east to west”.
