The president is scheduled to meet top Iraqi officials and sign cooperation and security documents.

On August 28, Iran’s Ambassador to Baghdad Mohammad Kazem Al-e-Sadeq announced President Pezeshkian’s visit during an interview with IRNA.

The ambassador said that Pezeshkian would travel to the Arab country in response to an official invitation by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani.

He also said that he would prioritize relations with neighboring countries as well as friendly nations that have supported Iran in difficult times.
