Iraqi prime minister to meet Russian president Putin in Moscow for bilateral talks

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani will travel to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin for a two-day visit on Oct. 10 and 11, a government source and another person familiar with the matter said.

Sudani will depart Iraq on Oct. 9, meeting with Putin on Oct. 10 and will hold work meetings on Oct. 11, the government source said.

Iraqi state media last month said Sudani would travel to Moscow to discuss cooperation between the two countries in the economic and political fields.
