TEHRAN- Iranian Ambassador Kazem Al Sadegh met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani in Baghdad to talk about mutual cooperation.

The media office of the Iraqi prime minister declared that Al Sudani and Al Sadegh had discussions on Sunday. 

The two parties spoke about measures to broaden their collaboration in all areas, as well as bilateral relations, according to the official press agency of Iraq. 

During the discussion, Al Sudani underscored that the Iraqi government is eager to deepen its ties with all neighboring nations and is developing strategies to establish peace and security in the region. 

Strategic connections and broad bilateral collaboration in political, military, commercial, and cultural domains characterize the relationship between Iran and Iraq. 

On February 05, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Akbar Ahmadian visited the Iraqi capital Baghdad to hold talks with several high-ranking Iraqi officials.

During the meeting, Ahmadian reiterated Tehran’s commitment to Iraq’s territorial integrity, vowing to safeguard its security and stability.

They also noted that both sides are keen to follow their collaboration based on the Iran-Iraq security pact in a bid to maintain security of the two neighboring countries.

The Iraqi premier declared that no country has the right to infringe Iraq’s territorial integrity, ruling out any unilateral actions by neighboring countries that contradict international principles based on mutual respect for sovereignty.

Al Sudani also underscored Baghdad’s commitment to the principle of good neighborliness and fostering strong relations with regional and global countries.

Also on February 14, in a meeting with Al Sudani, Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said that Tehran is the main supporter of stability and security in Iraq.

Mohseni Ejei also said there is a pressing need for full implementation of security agreements between Iran and Iraq and comprehensive confrontation with terrorists who have been tasked by the enemies of both Iran and Iraq to threaten and undermine the security of both countries.

Iran’s top judge also praised the desirable and strong positions of the government and people of Iraq in supporting the people of Gaza, stressing the need to level up political pressure from the Islamic world on the U.S. and the Zionist regime to end the massacre of the people of Gaza.

Mohseni Ejei went on to say that all Islamic nations must rise against the war machine of the Zionists, and it is essential that they activate all mechanisms to stop the massacre and savagery of the Zionists in the Gaza Strip.
