Iranian President Hasan Rouhani stressed to Iraq’s PM Mustafa Al-Kadhimi Tehran’s full support for the new Iraqi government.
In a telephone conversation with Kadhimi on Monday, the Iranian president congratulated the Iraqi PM on his approval, saying that Iran pays specific attention to Iraq’s independence, political stability, national sovereignty, and unity, Mehr news agency reported.
As he hoped for the expansion of Iran-Iraq cooperation in the future, Rouhain warned that the two sides should be aware of those who plan conspiracy plots against the interest of Iranian and Iraq nations.
He noted that Iran has previously proved its support for Iraq in the fight against the ISIL and will remain beside Iraqi as before in the future.
Rouhani also expressed Iran’s tendency for protecting Iraq under the Covid-19 pandemic via delivering anti-coronavirus medical products.
For his part, Kadhimi expressed gratitude for Iran’s support in the said areas and called for the development of ties in the future, as well as reopening of joint borders and trade of goods between the two countries.
He pointed to the sensitive conditions in the region and the world, stressing that any problem will be solved through wisdom, logic and rationality.
