During the hour-long interview in Iraq, Zebari stated that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani would be presiding over the Summit in Iraq, in spite of his recent medical care at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. He also stated that Baghdad would increase its security to ensure the safety of the delegations during the Summit, which is scheduled to take place on March 29th.
Zebari went on to say the Summit will be beneficial for all Iraqis and encouraged Iraqi political parties to engage in the Summit. When asked if Syria will participate in the Summit, Zebari said that would be decided by the entire Arab League, not Iraq.
