Nouri al-Maliki says that does not mean that "everyone gets an equal piece of the pie but it means that one must show a commitment for a unified, democratic Iraq."
Al-Maliki spoke to reporters in Stockholm on Friday.
His Shiite-dominated government is under pressure to show progress in reconciliation among the country's Sunni Arabs, Shiites and Kurds. Iraq's Sunni Arab minority has long felt it is being sidelined by the majority Shiites and the Kurds, who dominate the Iraqi parliament and al-Maliki's government.
Al-Maliki also met with Sweden's prime minister on Friday, a day after a U.N. conference.
