security, and congratulated Iraq on forming the new government.
The ministers
also reviewed regional issues, including the Palestinian cause, and confirmed
that coordination, consultations, and action are taking place to solve regional
crises and serve the region.
They agreed to
hold further meetings in preparation for the fourth summit, hosted next year by
Egypt, under the trilateral cooperation mechanism.
Moreover, they
agreed to maintain institutional communication to forge ahead with projects and
coordinate future plans in light of the economic challenges that necessitate
regular cooperation.
Meanwhile, the
Iraqi minister announced that a regional summit to be held in Jordan will bring
together Iraq and other regional countries, as well as France, will be held on
December 20, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
The French
presidency had announced that it was communicating and coordinating with Jordan
with a view to holding a summit, similar to the “Baghdad Conference for
Cooperation and Partnership” held in August last year.
Hussein said,
during a press conference held jointly with Safadi and Shoukry that the
Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership was held mainly to continue to
support Iraq.
Turkey and Iran
are also likely to participate in the “second edition of the Baghdad
conference”, he said, adding that “we have the constitutional obligation to not
allow any organization to use Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries,
but at the same time it is not possible to accept attacks on Iraqi soil”,
stressing that “problems should be solved through dialogue”.
