Italy's premier Mario Draghi will on Friday hold talks with his Iraqi counterpart Mustafa Al-Kadhimi at the prime minister's office in Rome.
Draghi's meeting with Kadhimi was due to take place at 9.30 am at Palazzo Chigi, according to a statement from the prime minister's office.
The statement gave no meeting agenda.
Kadhimi's trip to Rome follows a visit to Brussels on Wednesday, where he vowed to continue the fight against terrorism and welcomed NATO’s role in raising the combat level of his country’s armed forces.
