France’s President Emmanuel Macron met with his Iraqi analogue Barham Salih on Wednesday in the Salam Palace in Baghdad to address the country’s sovereignty, state news media-related.
Macron had arrived in the capital earlier on Wednesday for his first official visit since Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi rose to power.
Macron on Twitter stated that his visit to Iraq is aimed at helping guarantee Iraq’s security and economic sovereignty inside and outside of the country.
There are many challenges that exist when it comes to ensuring the sovereignty of Iraq within its border and in the region, he added.
“Our collective security and regional stability are at stake. Our soldiers are fighting side by side to ensure the final defeat of the [extremists],” the president said.
