TEHRAN -- Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian says the Iraqi prime minister offered him talks between Iran and Egypt at political and security levels during the Baghdad II Conference in Jordan and he welcomed the idea.
Muhammad al Sudani, the Iranian foreign minister said, is expected to take steps within the next few weeks to that end.
Amir-Abdollahian maintained that the offer is in line with Iraq’s regional role to strengthen dialog and cooperation.
The Baghdad II Conference in Amman took place with the participation of several countries, where the Iranian foreign minister outlined Iran’s views about regional issues specially those pertaining to Iraq.
Iran and Egypt cut diplomatic ties in 1980 after Cairo admitted the former Shah of Iran and recognized the occupying regime of Israel.
