Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein held a meeting in New York late on Monday.
In this meeting, the two sides discussed issues of mutual interest as well as issues related to the Kurdistan region.
The top Iraqi diplomat said that no threats will be posed via Iraq’s soil and Kurdistan region against Iran following the security agreement between the two sides.
Pointing to the prisoner swap agreement between Iran and the US as well as releasing Iran’s frozen funds in South Korea, he described such activities as a positive step and significant in the diplomacy of lifting sanctions.
Back in March, Iran and Iraq concluded a security agreement under which the Iraqi government promised to disarm terrorist and separatist groups based in the Kurdistan region by September 19, vacate their military barracks, and transfer them to the camps established by the Baghdad government.
