Al-Sudani sent two congratulatory letters to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, in which he congratulated them on the formation of the new Lebanese government, al-Awadi said in a statement.

Al-Sudani emphasised Iraq's enduring solidarity with Lebanon and commitment to providing all possible assistance to strengthen Lebanon's resilience in the face of challenges, facilitate its reconstruction, and drive its progress, according to the statement.

The Lebanese presidency announced Saturday the formation of a new 24-member government headed by Salam.
