Baghdad – Qahtan Taha Khalaf, Iraq’s delegate to the Arab League, confirmed Baghdad’s preparedness to host the upcoming Arab Summit. This affirmation follows the Arab League’s recognition of Iraq’s continuous efforts to support Arab unity and its readiness to lead the summit.

He also pointed out that enhancing the Arab position in both regional and international forums is critical for addressing current challenges.

Both officials agreed that the summit represents a vital opportunity to reinforce Arab solidarity. The gathering will serve as a platform for discussing important regional issues, with a focus on collaboration and unity.

Iraq’s active role in the Arab League and its efforts to bring about positive change were key themes of the discussion. As Baghdad prepares to host the summit, it is clear that the event will be pivotal in shaping the future of Arab cooperation.
