PARIS (FRANCE) – French President Emmanuel Macron and Iraq Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi both emphasised the need for fighting against terrorism after a meeting in Paris, a statement from Macron’s office said on Tuesday.
Macron hosted the meeting on Monday, which followed the French leader’s own trip to Iraq in September. He voiced his support for Iraq’s sovereignty. Macron added that Iraq’s main challenges were Islamic State militants and foreign interference in its affairs.
The French president’s office also said the two leaders had also welcomed French group Alstom’s plans to start working on a Baghdad metro project.
