SULAIMANI (ESTA) — President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Bafel Talabani hosted a summit meeting between top Iraqi leaders Monday night in the Iraqi capital where the participants stressed the protection of Iraq’s sovereignty, according to a press release.

President Talabani in Baghdad hosted top Iraqi Sunni as well as Shiite leaders in Mam Jalal Palace which was also attended by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al Sudani and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammed al Halbousi.

The leaders were from Iraq’s State Administration Coalition, a body that recently formed, comprising all Iraqi political parties. Together in a meeting, they discussed the latest developments in the national, regional, and international arena, the press release added.

It also revealed that further meeting on a high level is currently on the way, aiming at preventing violation of Iraq’s sovereignty by any external party.
