Without prior announcement or official invitation, Al-Sudani leaves for the Sharm El-Sheikh summit.
The media office of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced on Monday that he will travel to Egypt to participate in the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, which Trump will attend, regarding a plan to end the Gaza war and impose peace.
Al-Sudani’s media office said in a statement, “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is heading to the Arab Republic of Egypt to participate in the Sharm el-Sheikh summit on Gaza.”
This announcement came as a surprise, as Iraq’s participation in the summit had never been announced or disclosed before, nor had Egypt or the United States extended an invitation to Iraq to attend. The summit, which will be attended by the heads of state of more than 20 countries, will be co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and US President Donald Trump.
It is unknown whether Al-Sudani will meet with US President Trump on the sidelines of the summit, with questions still being raised about the nature of the relationship between Iraq and the US and why Al-Sudani has not yet visited Washington and met with the US president.
