It hosts an international summit.” Fouad Hussein visits Saudi Arabia today
Iraq’s Foreign Minister, Fouad Hussein, is expected to make an official visit to Saudi Arabia, during which he will meet the leaders of the Kingdom and two counterparts from countries in the region and the world.
A source, who declined to be named, told the Mountain Platform on Saturday that “Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein will head to the Saudi capital Riyadh, at 4:00 pm today, with an official visit.”
Hussein’s visit to Saudi Arabia coincides with the political and security developments left by the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s rule in Syria on December 8, and amid diplomatic activity in the region since then.
According to the official Turkish news agency “Anatolia”, today, the event in Riyadh “will bring together the foreign ministers of Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon, and Jordan.”
The foreign ministers of Britain and Germany will also attend the planned meeting in the Saudi capital, along with the deputy foreign ministers of the United States of America and Italy.
Hussein was scheduled to receive Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani today in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, before the latter announced the postponement of his trip to Iraq until further notice.
