Iraqi PM to Visit Iran, Saudi Arabia
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi plans to visit Iran and Saudi Arabia next week.
National Security Adviser Qasim Mohammad Jalal al-Araji said the Iraqi premier will also travel to the US and Europe, Asharq Al-Awsat reported.
He expressed optimism that regional countries will cooperate with Baghdad for the resolution of the region’s problems.
This will be al-Kadhimi’s first foreign tour since becoming prime minister.
Iraqi President Barham Saleh officially tasked Kadhimi with forming a government in April.
He replaced Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who stepped down last November.
