Iraq Backs Iran-US Talks
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani expressed his country’s support for negotiations between Iran and the United States.
In a meeting with Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, held in Baghdad on Monday, Sudani highlighted Iraq’s efforts to enhance relations with Iran.
He also stressed the need to strengthen fruitful partnership in different fields that are in the interests of the people of Iraq and Iran.
The prime minister further reiterated Iraq’s policy of condemnation of the Israeli aggression against Iran and whatever escalates regional or international clashes.
Sudani also voiced Iraq’s support for dialogue between Iran and the US.
For his part, Larijani said Iran is willing to broaden relations with Iraq in diverse arenas, such as the completion of railroad connections that would facilitate passenger travels between the two neighbors and merge them into main regional corridors.
Larijani has held separate meetings with Iraq’s National Security Adviser Qasim al-Araji and Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid during his visit to Baghdad.
The Iranian official is going to visit Lebanon later.
