Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that expanding and broadening relations with the neighboring Iraq is placed at the top foreign policy priority of the ministry.
Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks in an Arabic-language in a post on his X account on Sunday, shortly after arriving in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as part of an Iranian political delegation led by Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.
“Greetings to great and brotherly Iraq. We arrived in Baghdad together with the foreign minister, and after paying tribute to the commanders of victory, we will meet and hold talks with our Iraqi brothers, including the president, the prime minister, and the foreign minister of Iraq,” Baghaei wrote.
He said that “the development of relations with Iraq, which is bound to us by deep cultural and civilizational ties, will always remain at the top of Tehran’s priorities.”
