Fuad Hussien hands Erdogan an invitation to attend the meetings of the regional summit in Baghdad
Hussein met the Turkish President earlier today in the Turkish capital city, Ankara, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Besides the anticipated summit that will host the premiers of Iraq's neighboring countries, the meeting discussed "issues related to the bilateral ties and the situation in the region."
A source told Shafaq News Agency earlier that PM al-Kadhimi is laying the ground for a regional summit in Baghdad. Beside the countries of the region, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Egypt are expected to attend the meetings.
Al-Kadhimi is extending outreaches with the Arab world to ease a history of strained ties he inherited from previous governments.
