The Iraqi Cabinet has granted approval for the Ministry of Defense to contract with the French company Thales to acquire radar systems.
The objective of this agreement is to enhance defense systems, secure Iraq's airspace, assert national sovereignty across the nation, and provide support to our armed forces in their designated responsibilities.
The contract with Thales falls under special contracting methods, exempted from the stipulations outlined in Article (3) of the Government Contracts Implementation Instructions (3 of 2014).
The Prime Minister, Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani, later spoke by phone with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, discussing the contract in the context of strengthening bilateral relations and implementing the provisions of the strategic partnership agreement signed between the two countries.
