Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday will receive Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani at the presidential complex in the capital Ankara as part of Sudani's visit to Türkiye, accompanied by a high-level delegation.

The visit is expected to address relations between Ankara and Baghdad, as well as current regional and global developments, said the country's Communications Director Fahrettin Altun on Wednesday on X.
