The sources told Shafaq News Agency that the visit includes participation in an official signing ceremony scheduled to be held at the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in Washington on December 15, 2025, under the auspices of the Iraqi Ambassador, and in the presence of high-level representatives from Nineveh Governorate, including the US Deputy Secretary of State for Iraq and Iran Affairs.
