PM Al-Sudani to head a government delegation to the Elysee this weekend

Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani will be heading to Paris, the French capital, on an official visit on Thursday, a source revealed on Tuesday.

The source said that al-Sudani will be flanked by a high-level government delegation to discuss a spectrum of issues of mutual interest.

On October 3, 2022, al-Sudani received the French president’s advisor on the Middle East and North Africa, Patrick Durel, and his accompanying delegation in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Durel handed al-Sudani a letter from the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who laid emphasis on the depth of the Iraqi-French ties and invited the prime minister to visit the Elysee as soon as possible.
