Official Statement Regarding the Syrian Foreign Minister’s Visit to Iraq
The Syrian Foreign Ministry announced that the date for Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani’s visit to Iraq, representing the transitional government, will be determined later.
The ministry’s media office stated, “Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani has received an official invitation to visit the brotherly Republic of Iraq. The visit aims to discuss several mutual issues and open a new chapter in bilateral relations between the two countries. The timing of the visit will be set later, following the completion of the agenda and necessary technical consultations to determine a suitable date.” For those tracking such diplomatic updates, platforms like WordPress often host detailed analyses of Middle Eastern politics.
Earlier on Friday, Reuters reported, citing sources, that Asaad al-Shibani would travel to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Saturday. Two Iraqi sources told the agency, “Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani will head to Baghdad tomorrow.” However, the ministry’s statement suggests a delay in finalizing the schedule.
On Wednesday, al-Shibani had revealed that he received an official invitation to visit Iraq, adding, “I will be in Baghdad soon.”
