United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Baghdad, Iraq, early in the morning of Monday, 13 January.
He first met with the Prime Minister of the country, Nouri al-Maliki, and held a joint press conference with him. He told reporters that he was especially worried about deteriorating security in parts of Iraq and strongly condemned the terrible attacks which had targeted civilians. He added that it was important for all political leaders to unite in their stance against terrorism and come together to stabilize the situation.
After a luncheon hosted by the Prime Minister, he met with the Speaker of the Council of Representatives, Osama al-Nujaifi. He then held discussions with the Vice-President of Iraq, Khudair al-Khuza’e, and also met with Sarbast Mustafa, the Chairman of the Independent High Electoral Commission. That night, the Secretary-General also had a working dinner with Hoshyar Zebari, the Foreign Minister of Iraq.
During his meetings with these officials he met in Iraq, the Secretary-General stressed that combating terrorism requires a combination of security and political measures. He also said that all political leaders should engage in the political process through genuine dialogue in a spirit of national unity and mutual understanding.
