(MENAFN) Iraqi Premier Mohammad al-Sudani has stated his country will carry on efforts to construct bridges between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
In an interview with the Arabic service of DW, al-Sudani announced that Baghdad continues its efforts to intervene between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
“Balanced relations between Iraq and neighboring countries according to the principle of mutual respect, common interests and non-interference in internal affairs is the best approach for us as a government,” he added.
The prime Minister also said, “Bringing points of view closer between Iran and the countries of the region, including Saudi Arabia, is an approach that the government has followed and continues to follow, and it will contribute to easing tensions in the region, which will reflect on the security of Iraq and the region.”
Al-Sudani added, “We find a response from Iran and Saudi Arabia, and we are continuing with these attempts until we resume the meetings in Baghdad soon.”
The Iraqi prime minister also honored the depth of Tehran-Baghdad ties. “There is a distinguished and positive relationship with Iran, and what connects the two countries are 1,200 km borders, and religious, cultural and social commonalities, as is the case with Iraq's relations and its Arab depth,” he continued.
