Iran’s FM Araghchi and Iraq’s Prime Minister al-Zaidi have met on the sidelines of an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers meeting in Baghdad, Al Jazeera reports.
Araghchi has stressed the importance of using the OIC’s capacity to address issues facing the Muslim world, particularly Palestine, and called for further expansion of Iran-Iraq relations, IRNA has reported.
He adds that Israeli “occupation and expansionism” are the main sources of insecurity in West Asia.
The talks have also covered the Saudi–Yemeni conflict, ways to help end the maritime blockade of Yemen, and efforts to reduce tensions.
Araghchi says that it was the US that “repeatedly disrupted” diplomatic processes to end the war by breaking agreements and resorting to force.
