Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani has formally invited interim Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa to attend the Arab League Summit in Baghdad on May 17, 2025. The invitation was announced during the 9th Sulaimani Forum, which drew regional leaders and policy experts. Al-Sudani described the Arab Summit as an important event for Baghdad and welcomed Syria's participation, emphasizing Iraq's efforts to promote stability in Syria. He also used the occasion to announce his intention to run for a second term in Iraq's upcoming parliamentary elections. The summit comes amid regional challenges, including ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. The meeting is expected to address these issues. Iraq's Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein previously confirmed the May 17 date for the summit. Ahmed Al-Sharaa became Syria's president in January 2025, following a transition of power after the end of Baath Party rule and the Assad family's control. Al-Sharaa previously participated in an emergency Arab summit in Cairo, where he called for support to halt Israeli actions in Syria and reaffirmed Syria's commitment to the 1974 disengagement agreement.
