He added that the ministry when celebrating with an elite of its students who graduated from global universities asserts that Iraq is an a great need for his excellent sons to contribute in reconstructing and achieving a comprehensive development after years of war and destruction caused by the policies of the former regime that made Iraq an arena for conflicts with the other countries of the world. Al-Adeeb stated that the ministry is ready to stand by the scientific elites, as well as calling them to establish an association of graduated scholars to ensure communication and follow – up to be a mean for the transition to the society of knowledge in Iraq, to be a center of scientific, cultural and humanitarian radiation. The conference that carried the slogan (Investing minds and transferring knowledge to build a better future) aims at building bridges of communication and follow – up for the graduated students, knowing their needs to transfer the knowledge they gained in the donor countries and making use of them to serve Iraq.
