The president is scheduled to meet top Iraqi officials and sign cooperation and security documents.
Mohammad Mehdi Shahriari, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament, emphasized the significance of President Pezeshkian's upcoming visit to Iraq.
In an interview with IRNA, he noted that the trip is intended to enhance relations with neighboring countries, promote economic growth, and resolve certain outstanding issues.
Shahriari highlighted the importance of continuous interaction and engagement with Iran's neighbors. "The priority of foreign policy is undoubtedly to elevate relations with the neighboring countries of the Islamic Republic."
The lawmaker further said that a critical issue that needs to be discussed with Baghdad is the issue of border demarcation between the two nations.
"After the war, there has been a ceasefire, but the border issues remain unresolved," he stated.
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.
The Iranian president, during his trip to Iraq, is also scheduled to visit the northern Kurdistan region where he will meet with top officials. That was announced by Kurdistan region’s representative to Iran Nazem Dabbagh who spoke to IRNA on Sunday night.
Pezeshkian was sworn in as Iran’s ninth president on July 30, saying that his administration will work on a foreign policy that would ease tensions with the world. He also said that he would prioritize relations with neighboring countries as well as friendly nations that have supported Iran in difficult times.
