His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Mustafa Ghaleb Mukhaif, participated in the ceremony of distributing a number of gifts to orphaned Christian students within the community initiative sponsored by the Central Bank of Iraq with participation from the Iraqi Private Banks League and exchange companies.
This celebration comes on the occasion of the birth of Christ and the New Year, which took place in the Church of the Sacred Heart in central Baghdad. During his speech on this occasion, the governor emphasized that peaceful coexistence is the characteristic of the Iraqi people, which includes in its spectrum many religions and nationalities throughout its long history.
For his part, Patriarch Robert Saeed stressed the importance of this initiative and its great humanitarian impact, especially as it comes at times when we celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays.
