President Barack Obama will host Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi next month, the White House announced on Monday.
Officials said the meeting would take place on April 14.
“The prime minister’s visit underscores the strategic partnership between the United States and Iraq and the strong US commitment to political and military cooperation with Iraq in the joint fight against ISIL,” a White House statement said.
“The president and prime minister will discuss a range of issues, including continued US support to Iraq to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL, the government of Iraq’s actions to address the needs of the Iraqi people and to strengthen cooperation between all communities in Iraq, and advancing a broad US-Iraqi partnership through expanded political, commercial, and cultural relations under the US-Iraq Strategic Framework Agreement.”
