Amid Doubts About Its Uselity. Sudani Is Preparing For A US Tour To Arrange Relations And End The Existence Of The International Coalition
This visit comes in light of the dangerous escalation in the world and warnings of the expansion of the circle of fighting, while the Sudani will carry many other sensitive files, most notably the foreign presence in Iraq, in addition to the continuation of strikes between the Iraqi resistance factions and the American forces.
In September last year, the Sudani participated in the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, during which he met with the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, but did not meet with President Joe Biden, at which time the US minister invited the Iraqi Prime Minister to visit Washington and meet with Biden, to discuss bilateral relations.
On this visit, political analyst Ghalib Al-Dami said in an interview with Earth News, that “the talk about the visit took place a year ago when the government was formed and its date was not set and US Secretary of State Blinken had previously invited the Sudanese to visit the United States, but without specifying the appropriate date, which caused its postponement.”
He added that “the Sudanese visit and his meeting with US President Biden, who says about the media that he is lack of memory, will not have a significant impact on the consideration that the current President Biden will leave his position after about 8 months,” noting that “the visit will be very useful if it includes other US departments such as the parliament, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of State and the decision-making departments in Washington.”
Al-Da’ami pointed out that “the Sudanese Prime Minister will carry with him all files related to the Iraqi economy, Iraqi security, the American presence, the stability of the country and everything related to it.”
For his part, the government spokesman, on behalf of Al-Awadi, revealed in a statement followed by Earth News, that “the date of the Prime Minister’s visit will be during the spring, explaining that its goal is to arrange bilateral economic, political, cultural and security relations, end the mission of the international alliance and move to a bilateral relationship only.”
With regard to the calm between the United States and the Iraqi factions, Al-Awadi stressed that “stability in Iraq and the cessation of strikes directly contributed to the completion of dialogue and the timetable for the end of the mission of the international coalition and the withdrawal of foreign forces,” but said that “the targeting of Iraqi bases in which international advisers are present, is reflected negatively on the speed of completion of the mission of the Supreme Military Committee and the completion of the task of ending the international coalition.”
The Sudanese’s visit, which is expected during the next two months, which was postponed more than once, due to the tense regional conditions, most notably the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, is important in the eyes of the observer circles, as it is his first official visit since he took office in October 2022, and it will be on its agenda to discuss security unrest, including the escalation of mutual attacks between the United States and Islamic resistance factions since the beginning of the events in Gaza.
