BAGHDAD, Iraq (MNTV) — Iraq is preparing to launch new mediation initiatives in Yemen, Sudan, and Libya, as part of a broader diplomatic effort to address conflicts across the Arab world, officials confirmed during the Tehran Dialogue Forum on Monday.
The initiative comes as Iraq holds the presidency of the Arab Summit, positioning itself as a key player in shaping regional crisis management strategies.
Baghdad has emphasized its commitment to supporting political solutions and enhancing regional dialogue amid ongoing instability in several neighboring countries.
At the forum, the Iraqi delegation underscored the importance of inclusive political processes in Syria and reiterated that regional security and development are closely linked.
Officials highlighted Iraq’s balanced foreign policy approach, centered on dialogue and cooperation, which has enabled it to act as a bridge between opposing sides in regional disputes.
On the economic front, Iraq reported that it is currently experiencing a significant influx of domestic and foreign investments totaling approximately $87 billion.
The investments reflect growing international confidence in Iraq’s economic recovery and government reforms.
Key areas of focus include expanding natural gas production, boosting the petrochemical sector, promoting religious tourism, and supporting agricultural development. Iraq expects to achieve full domestic production of natural gas by 2028.
During his visit, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein also held bilateral discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
