Arab parliamentary delegation in Baghdad to express solidarity

An Arab parliamentary delegation is expected in Baghdad this Friday to express solidarity with the Iraqi people who have been facing an international embargo for over nine years.

The delegation is led by Moroccan MP Brahim Rachidi, who is sixth vice-speaker of the house of representatives (lower chamber of the parliament).

During the five-day mission that was decided by the Arab Parliamentary Union in Amman last December, the Arab lawmakers will be meeting with members of the Iraqi National Council (parliament) and with Cabinet members.
