I was able to access information about the 56th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) 2024, which was held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia." She added, "Although registration was closed, I communicated with the organizing bodies through the support of the Iraqi Embassy in Riyadh, especially the Deputy Ambassador, Sadad Faiq, who played a pivotal role in conveying Iraq's voice. She was able to prepare and submit a comprehensive report including the mechanism for selecting outstanding students. This received the approval of the international jury, which granted Iraq a special exemption to participate in the Olympiad." Al-Ajili explained that "Iraq received three exemptions from the Higher Committee of the International Chemistry Olympiad and the jury, composed of 96 countries. These exemptions include direct participation without waiting two years, the inclusion of Iraqi professors in the scientific committee, and the granting of observer status to the Iraqi delegation." Al-Ajili concluded by saying, "I believe in the capabilities of our students, and we will work to raise Iraq's name high. Just as we were the cradle of chemistry through Jabir ibn Hayyan and the Babylonian scientist Tabuti, it is only natural that Iraq will return to the global scientific arena today with strength."
