Intel: Macron makes appeal for Iraqi sovereignty in visit to Baghdad
Iraqi President Barham Salih welcomes French counterpart as 'dear friend' of the country.
In the first visit by a Western leader to Baghdad since the country’s Prime Minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, was appointed in May, French President Emmanuel Macron met with Iraqi leaders on Wednesday.
The visit was held amid an economic crisis in Iraq and looming security concerns by the Islamic State (IS) and Iran-backed militias.
