Al-Sudani and Fouad Hussein alongside world leaders in New York

Shafaq News / World leaders will meet at the United Nations next week, in light of geopolitical tensions that have been greatly exacerbated by the Ukraine war, amid Russia and China competing on one side with the United States and Europe on the other side to gain support from developing countries.

 

The Iraqi delegation will participate in the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, headed by Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, and they will meet there with many world leaders, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed al-Sahhaf.

 

Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein arrived in New York yesterday to participate in the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly.

 

According to Reuters, Russia's war in Ukraine will again be a focus at the annual gathering in New York, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will personally attend for the first time since the conflict began.

 

The concerns of the Southern Hemisphere also top the agenda of the meetings this year, and the focus on this issue comes to some extent as a reflection of the increasing interest of Western countries in developing countries to ensure their support in efforts to isolate Russia.

 

The focus of several high-level meetings during the General Assembly will be on the priorities of developing countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia, namely climate, health, development financing, and how to put the “sustainable development goals” on the right track.

 

Before the New York meetings, diplomats acknowledged their focus on developing countries, but denied suggestions that competition played a role.
