Jaberi Ansari and Hakim, the head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI), met on Monday in Baghdad.

During their working breakfast, which was also attended by a number of Iraqi officials as well as lawmakers from the ISCI, the two sides discussed a range of regional developments as well as Iraq’s issues.
