Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, have discussed preparations for upcoming visits to the kingdom by an Iraqi security delegation, Al Jazeera reports.

The talks took place on the sidelines of a ministerial meeting on Jerusalem in the Jordanian capital, Amman, the Iraqi News Agency reported, citing a Foreign Ministry statement.

The two ministers reviewed arrangements for the security delegation’s visit and discussed reciprocal visits at various levels aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation and coordination.

Hussein later posted details of the meeting on X, saying the discussions also covered preparations for Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s planned visit to Saudi Arabia, without specifying a date.

The trip would be al-Zaidi’s first visit to the kingdom since taking office as Iraq’s premier in May.

The meeting came a week after US and Saudi forces carried out deadly strikes on targets linked to Iranian-aligned groups in Iraq.
