French President Emmanuel Macron will take part at the end of the month in a conference on regional security in Baghdad that the Iraqi government will organize, the presidential palace said on Monday.
It issued a statement shortly after a phone call between Macron and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi.
Macron "praised Iraqi diplomacy as balanced" during Monday's call, Kadhemi's office said.
According to AFP, the trip would be Macron's second visit to the country in less than a year.
