Türkiye can play key role in Iraq’s development: Al-Sudani
BAGHDAD (AA) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani has said that Türkiye can play a key role in his country’s development.
“We have a high trade volume between the two countries,” Al-Sudani told a press conference in Baghdad. “Türkiye is an economically developed country and can play a key role in the development of Iraq,” he added.
The Iraqi premier said that decreased rainfalls and the low amount of water coming from Türkiye and Iran create a water problem in Iraq. “We are in favor of cooperation to solve this issue,” he added.
Meanwhile, Al-Sudani said Iraq will continue to play a mediating role between Iran and Saudi Arabia to achieve regional stability.
Iraq has hosted several rounds of talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran in recent months in an effort to normalize their relations and ease tensions between the two neighbors.
