Shafaq News- Baghdad
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi received an official invitation on Thursday to visit Egypt during a meeting in Baghdad with the Egyptian President’s envoy and intelligence chief Hassan Mahmoud Rashad.
The two sides called for closer coordination, as well as greater sharing of information and expertise to advance bilateral interests and cooperation between Iraq and Egypt.
Since taking office on May 14, Al-Zaidi has made official visits to the United States, Iran, and Turkiye.
The Iraqi PM was scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia on July 30, 2026. However, he canceled the visit following joint US–Saudi airstrikes on the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) positions in Iraq.
