His Eminence, the Religious Authority Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life) sent a message to the European Union affirming the importance of respecting Iraq's sovereignty and its sovereign and legal decisions, welcoming at the same time any support that would enhance Iraqi-European relations based on the foundation of supporting Iraq economically and scientifically, especially after Europe had supportive positions towards Iraq against the terrorism of previous dictatorships during the rule of the Ba'athist regime and the terrorism faced by Iraq after 2003.
