Iraq-Saudi Cooperation continues to shape stronger ties across the region. The Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, held a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. They focused on expanding collaboration between their countries across multiple sectors.
During the call, the two leaders explored ways to advance mutual interests. They discussed cooperation that could bring long-term benefits to both nations. Their dialogue also covered key developments affecting the Middle East.
They emphasized the need to work closely on pressing regional issues. A major topic was the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Both leaders agreed that joint efforts are essential to address challenges and support stability.
The phone call followed recent diplomatic activity between both governments. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan in Riyadh. There, he delivered an invitation for Saudi Arabia to participate in an upcoming Arab Summit in Baghdad.
This invitation came directly from Iraqi President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid. It shows a strong push for deeper regional engagement. These efforts reflect Iraq’s aim to play a central role in Arab affairs.
Earlier remarks from President Rashid confirmed Iraq’s commitment to hosting the next Arab Summit. He made these comments after Syria declined to host the event. As a result, Baghdad became the new location for this important meeting.
At the summit, Arab leaders are expected to address the Palestinian cause. Economic growth and regional security will also feature in the discussions. These shared concerns bring leaders together around common goals.
This renewed energy behind Iraq-Saudi Cooperation highlights the growing trust between the two governments. It also shows a clear path forward for peace and partnership in the region.
Through dialogue and diplomacy, Iraq-Saudi Cooperation remains a strong force in regional progress.
