    H.E. Samir Shakir Mahmoud Sumaida’ie, Ambassador of Iraq, speaks about Iraq's rich and long history and the themes of continuity and change in its culture. The forging of "national character," the nation's self image, and the importance of cultural heritage in Iraqi national identity, is considered.
