Baghdad: The three presidencies convened at the Baghdad Palace to discuss preparations for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The meeting was attended by President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the official statement highlighted that the discussion focused on regional developments and emphasized the government's commitment to safeguarding Iraq from potential threats, thus ensuring the nation's security. Central to the meeting was the preparation for the parliamentary elections, with a firm endorsement of the Independent High Electoral Commission's efforts to conduct free and fair elections scheduled for November 11, 2025.

The statement further elaborated on the dialogue concerning the agreement regulating navigation in the Khor Abdullah Strait. This agreement, originally ratified by the House of Representatives under Law (42) of 2013, faced a constitutional challenge when the Federal Supreme Court deemed the legislative quorum unconstitutional. In light of this, the presidencies underscored the need for the House of Representatives to undertake the necessary legislative measures to align with the Federal Court's ruling for the re-enactment of the law.

Additionally, the statement mentioned that both the Presidency of the Republic and the Prime Minister's Office agreed to withdraw their requests for reversal submitted to the Federal Court, considering that the legislative process is now underway. It was also affirmed that Iraq remains committed to adhering to international agreements, UN charters, and Security Council resolutions.

In conclusion, the statement emphasized the importance of handling international matters with caution to avoid political and media exploitation, which could potentially jeopardize Iraq's rights, international standing, and interests.
