BAGHDAD -- United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Saturday paid an official visit to Baghdad, aiming at showing the international community's support to the Iraqi government to confront economic crisis and fight against the Islamic State (IS).

The UN chief, who was accompanied by World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and President of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Ahmad al-Madani, was received at the Baghdad airport by Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, and the two sides held a meeting before heading to the office of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.

In a joint news conference by Abadi, Ban and the two bank chiefs, Abadi welcomed the visiting top officials and said their visit was aimed at assisting Iraq in its war against the IS, and also to help Iraq overcome the ordeal of the acute fall of oil prices.

"I heard from the visiting top officials that there are plans by the international community to help Iraq, and the plans will kick off next week," Abadi told reporters without giving further details.

After his meetings with Abadi and Jaafari, Ban said "our visit were successful, and we have held positive dialogues with the prime minister and the foreign minister, in which we have discussed issues of security, politics, economy and human rights in Iraq."

Ban urged the Iraqi government to step up reconciliation efforts between the Iraqi factions to close the ranks in fighting against the IS, in particular the Sunni community who say they were marginalized by the Shiite-led government.

"National reconciliation is an important part of the strategy to defeat the IS, who have ruthlessly exploited divisions and targeted the marginalized and disenfranchised," Ban said.

The World Bank chief told reporters that "more economic and administrative reforms are needed to restore stability to the areas that are liberated from the IS," adding that the World Bank has allocated 250 million dollars for this purpose.

The IDB chief also said the Islamic Bank "will be supportive and cooperative with the government reform program," asserting that it "will play a substantial role in rebuilding the areas freed from the IS."

After the news conference, Ban, Jim and Madani paid a visit to the Iraqi parliament in the Green Zone in central Baghdad, and attended a session chaired by the Speaker Salim al-Jubouri, said a statement issued by the parliament media office.
