Pakistan, Iraq agree to enhance mutually beneficial cooperation

NEW YORK: Pakistan and Iraq on Friday agreed to further deepen and broaden the scope of existing bilateral ties and exploit the potential of enhancing mutually beneficial cooperation between both countries.

The bilateral ties were discussed in a meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Iraqi counterpart Mohammad Shia’ Al Sudani on the sidelines of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, the official news agency reported.

The prime minister lauded the cordial ties between the two brotherly countries, reinforced by strong historical, cultural and religious affinities, the official news agency reported.

He also commended the excellent arrangements made by the government of Iraq for the Pakistani pilgrims.

The two leaders also exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.

They noted with grave concern the ongoing Israeli carnage on Gaza and the ensuing humanitarian catastrophe.

Prime Minister Shehbaz reiterated Pakistan’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and holding Israel accountable for the Gaza genocide.

Underscoring the commonality of views on international issues, both the leaders resolved to reinforce the international efforts both at the UN and OIC platforms for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and unimpeded supply of humanitarian assistance to Palestinian brethren.
