During this visit, Al-Kadhimi met with senior French officials and discussed the region's security and economic challenges. He emphasized that Iraq, as a neutral country and a reliable host, can provide a safe space for holding these negotiations.
Possible Consequences of Iraq's Hosting
If negotiations among the conflicting parties are held in Iraq, the country could serve as a model for other countries in the region. The successful holding of these negotiations may lead to a reduction in tensions and improvement in relations among countries, particularly strengthening the security situation in Iraq and neighboring countries.
The Prime Minister of Iraq also stressed the importance of international cooperation in the fields of security and economic development, stating: "Iraq can be a bridge for communication among countries in various fields. We are committed to cooperating with different countries to achieve peace and stability in the region." This perspective reflects Baghdad's determination to play a more active role in regional processes.
In conclusion, Al-Kadhimi expressed hope that the international community would support this Iraqi initiative and particularly encourage neighboring countries to participate in these negotiations. This move could be considered a milestone in the history of Iraq's regional and international relations.
