The conference discussed a number of security, political and economic dossiers, in addition to emphasising support for the Iraqi government and the fight against terrorism.

In a speech during the opening of the Baghdad Summit for Cooperation and Partnership, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al Kadhimi said: "Terrorism represents a common threat to all, and Iraq refuses to use its territory as an arena of conflict.”

He added that Baghdad Conference embodies Iraq's vision for cooperation, saying that there will be no foothold for terrorism in Iraq, no return to undemocratic routes and no absurd wars. “What unites peoples is more than what separates them,” he added.
