An Iraqi source reveals details of the meeting between Al-Shar and the Sudanese.
The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, made an unannounced visit to the Qatari capital, Doha, where he held a trilateral meeting with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad.
The meeting was part of diplomatic efforts to keep up with regional developments, especially the situation in Syria.
A source close to the Iraqi government confirmed to the Iraqi News Agency that "Iraq is closely monitoring the ongoing developments in Syria, including Israeli military presence on its soil," reaffirming Iraq's steadfast position calling for "a comprehensive political solution that preserves social and religious diversity, and protects sacred sites and places of worship."
During the meeting, Al-Kadhimi emphasized the need for the Syrian government to take "practical and serious measures" against ISIS, according to the same source.
A statement from the Syrian Presidency mentioned that the meeting took place "under the auspices and in the presence of the Emir of Qatar," focusing on bilateral relations between Damascus and Baghdad, and enhancing joint Arab cooperation, "building on the deep historical ties between the two peoples."
The discussions included the issue of the common border security, with both sides agreeing to "enhance security and intelligence coordination" to address shared threats.
The spokesperson added: "The administration is committed to protecting the country by applying the highest security standards in the visa issuance process, which includes assessing eligibility from application submission to visa expiration."
On another note, officials in the administration warned that student visas could be revoked if holders express support for Palestinians or criticize Israeli policies in Gaza, deeming it "a threat to U.S. foreign policy."
In contrast, critics of Trump's policies criticize these measures, seeing them as restricting freedom of expression and conflicting with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
