Special summit on fight against Islamic State to be held in November

The "extraordinary" ministerial meeting of the global coalition to defeat Islamic State will be hosted by Pompeo in Washington, the State Department says in a statement.
"The D-ISIS Coalition remains vitally important to our efforts and our commitment, as a Coalition, to this effort remains unwavering," the statement reads.
"Ministers will meet for strategy discussions on the continued fight against ISIS in the post-liberation era and following the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, with a particular focus on recent developments in northeast Syria and their relationship to stability and security of the region."
