Iraqi PM's Visit at Risk
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s visit to Damascus nearly fell through after Syria informed Baghdad that President Ahmed al-Sharaa would not meet him at the airport for security reasons. Iraq, however, insisted that al-Sharaa be there in person, and he received al-Zaidi upon his arrival on Wednesday. The visit is the first by an Iraqi prime minister to Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024. US envoy Tom Barrack helped arrange it. It comes as Baghdad seeks to strengthen ties and security and economic coordination with Damascus, whose countries share a border of more than 600 kilometers.
