Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, discussed on Wednesday the agenda of his upcoming visit to Washington with the US Ambassador to Iraq, Alina Romanowski.
Al-Sudani received Romanowski in Baghdad, where they discussed strategies to promote relations between the two countries, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
The two sides emphasized that the High Military Committee’s bilateral talks on planning the withdrawal of the international coalition’s troops from Iraq will continue.
The meeting addressed the topics that will be discussed during Al-Sudani’s upcoming visit to the United States and the cooperation mechanisms within the strategic framework agreement between Iraq and the United States.
Iraq and the United States agreed recently to launch a High Military Committee to evaluate the threat ISIS poses and to draw up a timetable for the gradual withdrawal of the advisors of the international coalition combating ISIS in Iraq.
The agreement includes a transition to comprehensive political, economic, cultural, security, and military bilateral relations with the countries taking part in the international coalition to be consistent with the vision of the Iraqi government.
