A US Embassy spokeswoman said that US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Tuesday on his third trip to the country this year, for talks with top Iraqi leaders and to meet US occupation troops.

Biden has been assigned a special mission by President Barack Obama to keep a high-level focus on Iraq as the United States transitions to the withdrawal of all combat occupation troops from the country by August next year.

The White House said in an earlier statement that Biden will meet President Jalal Talabani, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and other senior leaders in Baghdad. "He will also meet with representatives from the United Nations mission in Iraq. Vice President Biden will convey the strong US commitment to Iraq's future and national unity," the statement said.
