Iraq's Parliament Speaker Mohamed al-Halbousi affirmed on Wednesday the importance of attracting competent Iraqi expatriates who would benefit the country in various fields.

Halbousi called for providing free and decent life for all Iraqi citizens and ensuring equal rights for them as well, in order to ensure the return of the Iraqis to the homeland after years of migration. He expressed hope to see Iraqis serve their country.

"Iraq is aimed at strengthening openness to the Arab, regional and international surrounding in accordance with common interests and respect for mutual sovereignty," Halbousi stated.
