Shamkhani, Iran’s top security official, will visit Iraq soon to discuss security challenges as well as economic and banking issues that are key to help Iran and Iraq help maintain trade ties worth more than $10 billion per year.
The visit will be aimed at speeding up the implementation of economic agreements between Iran and Iraq and facilitating banking cooperation between the two neighbors, according to an IRNA report.
Shamkhani was on a visit to the UAE on Thursday, a week after he negotiated a deal in the Chinese capital Beijing to restore Iran’s diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia.
