Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried a breaking-banner item this afternoon reporting that al-Hakim and al-Zaidi affirmed the need to address Iraq's financial crisis through diversification of income sources and of oil-export outlets. Visual review of the accompanying image shows two men seated in a formal setting with the Iraqi emblem behind them; the identities are not verifiable from the image itself and rest on the channel's caption. No other collected channel carries the meeting and no outside coverage of it is present in the supplied evidence.
