Iraqi cleric visits Saudi Arabia amid political crisis
RIYADH (AA) – Prominent Iraqi cleric Ammar al-Hakim arrived in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday evening.
The Hikma Movement leader was received at the Jeddah airport by Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed bin Abdul Karim Al-Khuraiji.
Al-Hakim’s visit came after his participation in a national dialogue between the presidencies in Iraq and leaders of political forces, aiming to resolve the country’s political crisis.
Iraq has been in a political deadlock for nine months following the country’s general elections last October, which failed since then to agree on a new government between the rival parties.
