Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia later this week for an official visit, according to reports. The exact date and agenda have not been disclosed.
The planned visit follows a series of diplomatic engagements by al-Zaidi in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, he visited Washington in mid-July for talks with President Trump, and later traveled to Tehran for meetings with Iranian leadership. He also announced plans to visit Syria, calling for economic cooperation.
The trip to Saudi Arabia, a key regional rival of Iran, highlights Iraq's delicate balancing act between its two major neighbors. The visit is expected to focus on bilateral relations and regional stability, though no specific announcements have been made.
The timing and scope of the visit remain unconfirmed, and it is unclear whether al-Zaidi will meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman or other senior officials.
