Shafaq News- Baghdad/ Tehran
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday
congratulated Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi after Parliament approved the
new Iraqi government.
Araghchi also welcomed the reappointment of Fuad
Hussein as Iraq’s foreign minister, stressing that strengthening “friendly and
brotherly relations” between Tehran and Baghdad would remain a key priority in
Iran’s foreign policy.
أهنئ بتشكيل الحكومة العراقية الجديدة برئاسة دولة رئيس الوزراء علي الزيدي، وبقاء أخي فؤاد حسين في منصب وزير خارجية العراق. إن توسيع العلاقات الودية والأخوية بين طهران وبغداد هو دائماً على رأس أولويات سياستنا الخارجية.

Earlier in the day, Iraq’s Parliament endorsed
Al-Zaidi’s cabinet and ministerial program, granting confidence to 14 ministers
while delaying votes on six portfolios, including higher education and
interior, following objections to several nominees.
