Regional developments and anti-terrorism were on the agenda at a ministerial meeting between Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan that brought together FMs Sameh Shoukry, Fuad Hussein, and Ayman Safadi in Baghdad yesterday, Iraqi state-run news agency INA reports. The ministers also discussed joint cooperation ahead of a planned tripartite summit that was due to be held in Baghdad at the end of this month but was postponed following last Friday’s train crash in Sohag. The meeting — a new date for which is yet to be announced — is set to bring together President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Iraqi PM Mustafa Al-Kadhimi and Jordan’s King Abdullah, along with the three countries’ foreign ministers.
