Iraq’s senior political leaders have voiced support for Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi’s planned visit to Washington. The State Administration Coalition placed Iraq’s reform agenda at the heart of its Baghdad meeting. Leaders also reviewed preparations for talks with US President Donald Trump. They presented the trip as an opportunity to advance national interests abroad.
The gathering included representatives from Iraq’s three presidencies. Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani also attended the discussions. His participation signaled closer coordination between Baghdad and Erbil. Officials want that cooperation to guide Iraq through important domestic and international decisions.
Coalition members discussed ways to secure practical results from the Washington visit. They want the meetings to strengthen Iraq’s strategic relationships. They also hope to expand the country’s role in international cooperation. Economic priorities will likely feature prominently during the talks.
Al-Zaidi’s meeting with Trump could cover bilateral relations and investment opportunities. Energy cooperation may also appear on the agenda. Iraqi officials see US partnerships as a possible source of technical support and capital. They want agreements that support growth while protecting Iraq’s independent decision-making.
The coalition also renewed its backing for the government’s anti-corruption campaign. Participants said investigations must follow the law at every stage. They called for greater transparency across public institutions. Accountability remains a central part of Iraq’s reform agenda.
Leaders stressed that public authorities must protect constitutional institutions. They also emphasized the need to uphold the rule of law. The coalition urged the government to preserve Iraq’s sovereignty during regional uncertainty. These principles, officials said, should guide future state reforms.
Another major discussion focused on weapons control. Participants said only the state should hold and regulate arms. They linked that goal to stronger institutions and public security. The position reflects long-running concerns about armed groups operating outside official structures.
The Washington visit now stands among the new government’s most significant diplomatic engagements. Iraq’s leaders hope a united political position will strengthen Al-Zaidi’s hand. They also want foreign policy gains to reinforce domestic progress. For the coalition, Iraq’s reform agenda and international engagement now move together.
