Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, on Sunday, received the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Iraq, Anil Bora İnan, as part of ongoing efforts to bolster bilateral ties between the two neighboring countries. During the meeting, Al-Zaidi underscored the paramount importance of elevating Iraqi-Turkish relations to broader levels of strategic cooperation and partnership. This affirmation comes in light of the positive outcomes from his recent visit to Ankara, where he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. That visit encompassed the signing of several memorandums of understanding and agreements across various vital sectors, including economic and developmental fields, in addition to energy, water, transport, and trade files. These agreements aim to serve the mutual interests of both nations and foster opportunities for development and prosperity throughout the wider region. The meeting also saw an emphasis on the necessity of continuing regular coordination and consultation on shared issues between Baghdad and Ankara, particularly amidst the current regional challenges and circumstances. Furthermore, the two sides stressed the importance of joint action to support diplomatic dialogues and pathways designed to safeguard regional and international security and stability.
