The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Iraqi government are planning to organize the preliminary conference in Baghdad, on 11 December, 2 017 as a prelude to the convening of the Iraqi National Reconciliation Conference to be held as the next step.

The preliminary conference will work on raising ideas and recommendations of the participants to the General Conference of national reconciliation, in order to build such reconciliation on community participation among the various groups and segments of Iraqi society.
The convening of the reconciliation conference will occur at a time in which Iraq will start recovering from the threat of terrorism, after the liberation of all Iraqi territory from the Daesh organisation. It also comes at a time suitable to proceed in a comprehensive national reconciliation leading to a new phase, which accords the utmost importance to the phase of construction, national unity, stability and prosperity.
