Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to depart from Tehran to visit the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Wednesday. This will be his first foreign trip since assuming office in late July, as reported by local media.
During the visit, Pezeshkian is expected to meet with high-ranking Iraqi officials and sign several cooperation agreements and security memoranda.
The Iranian Ambassador to Iraq, Mohammad-Kazem Al-e Sadeq, stated that the trip is being made at the invitation of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani.
Mohammad-Mehdi Shahriari, a member of Iran’s parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the visit aimed to strengthen relations with Iraq and address issues such as border demarcation, the report said.
