The remaining four countries are expected to confirm their participation within the next two days.
Baghdad will host the 52nd session of its Council of Foreign Ministers on Oct. 17–18 under the theme "Dialogue and Solidarity as Two Essential Pillars for Promoting Peace and Sustainable Development," with talks expected to cover the Palestinian cause, the war in Gaza and regional tensions. Iraq will take over the council's presidency from Turkiye.
