The Qatari official left the Iraqi capital shortly after meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, without delivering any speech during the summit. He did not provide any reasons for his early departure.
Al-Sudani also held separate discussions with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
The Arab Summit officially began on Saturday in Baghdad, with the participation of six Arab heads of state, alongside several prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, and foreign ministers representing their countries.
