Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi met with the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, to discuss collaborative pathways. According to an official statement, Al-Zaidi underlined Iraq's commitment, drawing from Baghdad's standing as an influential Islamic
capital, to actively pursuing its vital Arab and Islamic role. The Prime Minister called for turning the organization's decisions into tangible actions on the ground rather than remaining formal statements, thereby serving the causes of the Muslim nations. Furthermore, he
affirmed Iraq's full backing for the organization's initiatives to unify member states' stances and foster their economies, highlighting the need to establish a unified platform leading to a joint Islamic market, while emphasizing strategic integration across the transport and energy
sectors.
