Macron calls for overcoming rift to ensure Iraq’s security
DEAD SEA, Jordan (AA) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday called on Iraq and its neighbors to overcome divisions to ensure regional security.
Macron’s remarks came during the opening session of the second Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership held in Jordan.
Iraq is “one of the victims of regional instability,” Macron said, calling on its neighbors, especially Syria and Lebanon, to prepare “an agenda of honest cooperation to resolve security problems.”
He added that all countries taking part in the conference should “seek to establish security and stability in Iraq and the region.”
The first edition of the conference was held in the Iraqi capital Baghdad in August 2021.
