BAGHDAD, March 24 (AKnews) - Iraq will spend some $500m (583 IQD) to host the upcoming Arab summit in Baghdad on March 29, reports the New York Times.

“Iraq is spending about $500m on the meeting, for extensive security and for everything from hotel renovations and overtime to catering, stationery and new palm trees on the road from the airport," said Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshiar Zebari.

Zebari described the figure as "an investment for the country".

The Office of the Commander General of the Iraqi armed forces announced on Monday the completion of the deployment of security forces charged with protecting the security of Arab leaders. The security forces are under the direct supervision of the Commander in Chief of the armed forces Nouri al-Maliki.

According to security sources, Baghdad has deployed some 100,000 security members to protect the summit, with the participation of military forces from nearby provinces.
