PNA-An Iraqi delegation made up of President Jalal Talabani and four ministers is to make a four-day visit to France this week, during which Talabani will hold talks with President Jacques Chirac.


It will be the second visit of an Iraqi president to France since the 2003 war lead by the United States that Chirac firmly opposed. Talabani's predecessor, Ghazi al-Yawar, came to Paris in January last year.

The Iraqis are due to arrive in the French capital late Wednesday and stay until Saturday, according to French officials.

During the visit, they are also to meet Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy and other officials.

The designated next UN secretary general, South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-Moon, is also expected in Paris during that time, from Thursday to Saturday, but there was no announced plans for him to meet Talabani.

The Iraqi visit comes as the United States is under increasing pressure to withdraw its military forces from Iraq, which has become home to widespread and intense violence.

The French foreign ministry said Paris was not calling for an "immediate" withdrawal of the US troops, but rather a "coordinated" plan for them to leave so the Iraqi people can enjoy full sovereignty.

France has taken an active role in international efforts to help Iraq, offering to train police outside the country and rubbing out four billion euros (five billion dollars) in Iraqi debt.

It fears, however, that the rampant sectarian violence in Iraq could lead to a fragmentation of the country and "consequences for regional stability."

Yup, sounds like the Froggies.

He said Iraq's government was very serious in settling all current dilemmas through executing a time-table that included a number of practical steps, such as forming a committee to amend the constitution, discussing a law to disband militias, as well as a number of economic legislations, especially laws governing oil and gas.
