Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Tehran to visit Iraq to
discuss issues of mutual interests, Fars news agency reported on July
18.
Ahmadinejad has already been invited to Iraq before Iraqi
President Jalal Talabani's physical condition went into deterioration.
But the travel has been postponed due to Talabani's bad physical
condition for long time.
Ahmadinejad will meet with high-ranking
Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Vice
President Khodair al-Khozaei and other high-profile officials during his
two-day visit to Iraq.
The two sides will discuss ways for the further expansion of mutual cooperation in various fields.
Iran
and Iraq were involved in a war which broke out in September 1980 and
lasted for eight years. On July 20 is 26 anniversary of adoption of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 598 that stops war between
Iran and Iraq.
