ISLAMABAD/BAGHDAD – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Friday arrived in Iraq’s capital on a three-day official visit, where he will hold key meetings with his Iraqi counterpart along with top leaders.

The Foreign Minister will hold detailed discussions on bilateral cooperation, besides reviewing cooperation between both countries in multilateral organisations, particularly the United Nations and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Qureshi will also exchange views on the issues confronting the Muslim world as well as the global and regional issues of mutual interest.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson stated that Qureshi will also exchange views on problems of the Muslim world and global and regional issues of mutual interest.

The visit to the Middle East state is expected to add further momentum to the positive trajectory of brotherly ties between both sides. Pakistan and Iraq both shared long-standing fraternal ties rooted in faith, values, and culture and bilateral relations between the two countries benefited from shared understanding and similarity of views on a number of regional and global issues, the statement further reads.

In his meetings with Iraqi President Barham Salih and other top authorities, Qureshi will also discuss the management and wellbeing of thousands of Pakistani pilgrims who visit the sacred sites in Iraq each year.
