Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced that he will make an official visit to Washington with a delegation that includes representatives from the business community. The visit is intended to broaden mutual and joint investment opportunities between Iraq and the United States.
The Prime Minister's Office has not yet announced a date for the visit. It is noted that this will be al-Zaidi's first official foreign trip since taking office on May 1.
The Washington agenda highlights a period where economic relations between the two countries are emphasized. The presence of Iraqi businesspeople in the delegation indicates that discussions will focus not only on political but also commercial matters.
During a phone call on April 30 between al-Zaidi and U.S. President Donald Trump, both expressed a desire to develop and strengthen bilateral relations across various fields. This invitation followed that conversation.
The upcoming visit is expected to be a significant milestone for Iraq's external economic outreach and investment pursuits. Once the date is finalized, the scope of the talks will become clearer.
