Iraqi FM to Visit Iran Soon
TEHRAN, May 15 (FNA)- Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari is slated to visit Tehran to discuss expansion of bilateral ties prior to an upcoming meeting of Iran-Iraq High Commission for Economic Cooperation in Baghdad.
Zebari will travel to Tehran in the near future to meet with the Iranian officials to pave the way for holding the High Commission meeting.
The meeting of the two countries' High Commission for Economic Cooperation will be held in June with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi in attendance.
Earlier this month, Maliki stressed his country's resolve to further boost ties with Iran in different fields.
He said Iraq was determined to pave the way for bolstering positive cooperation among the regional countries, adding that Baghdad seeks to have an active presence in the region through promoting a new economic system.
Iran and Iraq have enjoyed growing ties ever since the overthrow of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, during the 2003 US invasion of the Muslim country.
Both sides are working on a series of plans to take wide strides in the expansion of their ties, in economic fields in particular.
