Iraqi President: Main Sunni Bloc to Re-Join Cabinet |
2008-04-21 |
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani says the main Sunni political bloc will rejoin the Shi'ite-led ruling coalition after quitting the government last year. Mr. Talabani said Sunday that the Sunni bloc has put forward a list of candidates for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Cabinet. He made the comments after meeting with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. While on an unannounced visit to Baghdad, Rice praised Iraq's Sunni Arab, Shi'ite and Kurdish leaders for working together in politics. Rice is holding talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other top Iraqi officials before heading to diplomatic meetings in Bahrain and Kuwait. |
