“Saudi Arabia does not wish Iraq to have a vital role in the region and trying to keep it in a weaker position,” the reports added.
Earlier, The Deputy Secretary General of the Arab League, Ahmed Bin Hilli, who has visited Iraq in the 30th of January, accompanied by a delegation from the Arab League, assured that Iraq is technically, logistically and security ready to hold the Arab Summit.
