A statement by the National Security Adviser said that Al-Araji discussed with the Romanian Ambassador strengthening the relations of friendship and cooperation between Iraq and Romania, in areas that serve the interests of the two friendly countries and peoples, stressing that the government of Mr. Al-Sudani enjoys great political and parliamentary support, which helps it implement its government program.
Al-Araji assured the Romanian Ambassador that the Iraqi government adopts a policy of distancing itself from axes and seeks real partnerships with countries that stood by Iraq in its war against terrorism, noting that Romania’s presence within NATO and its assistance to Iraq is an affirmation of the commonalities that unite the two countries.
