Amirabdollahian made the remarks in a meeting with the visiting Iraqi Interior Minister Othman Al-Ghanmi.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to seriously cooperate with Iraq within the framework of mutual ties and use of international capacities to solve the dust haze question as it has badly affected the two countries directly and also threatened the region, the foreign minister noted.
A few days ago, the spokesman for the Iranian government Ali Bahadori Jahromi said the Foreign Ministry was given a mission to pursue the dust and sand storms problem, the source of which is from some neighboring countries.
Amirabdollahian has expressed hope that restrictions for travels for Arbaeen rituals through land borders would be removed as the two countries enjoy good relations and the coronavirus pandemic is nearly over.
For his part, the Iraqi minister said his country does not let the security of its neighbors be threatened from the Iraqi soil.
About the fight against the influence of the Zionist regime of Israel in Iraq, Al-Ghanmi said his country’s parliament has approved the normalization of relations with Israel as a crime.
Joint cooperation in the fight against terrorism, control of the dust haze question, and removal of restrictions for travel between Tehran and Baghdad were among the issues the two discussed.
