President Bafel Jalal Talabani is taking part in the meeting of Iraqi political parties organized by the Iraqi prime minister in Baghdad.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Kazemi has invited the leaders of the political parties to discuss the political stalemate and solutions to overcome the political crisis at the Council of Ministers building.
Meanwhile, leaders of the Coordination Framework, Sunni and Kurdish parties, and the head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council Fayeq Zeidan are attending the meeting, but Muqtada al-Sadr has boycotted the meeting.
The roundtable meeting is to end the stalemate between the Iraqi political parties that have foiled government formation talks.
