In a meeting with Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, held in Baghdad on Monday, Sudani highlighted Iraq’s efforts to enhance relations with Iran.

He also stressed the need to strengthen fruitful partnership in different fields that are in the interests of the people of Iraq and Iran.
