BAGHDAD (Dispatches) – An international summit in Baghdad on “regional stability” planned for late November has been postponed due to the ongoing Israeli onslaught on Gaza, an Iraqi official said.
The third edition of the Baghdad conference “for economic integration and regional stability,” “is postponed until further notice due to the regional events” in West Asia, said Farhad Alaaldin, adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The gathering, which follows one in Baghdad in 2021 and another in Jordan late last year, was announced by the Iraqi government in August to establish “a regional agenda in support of Iraqi sovereignty” after years of unrest.
