“Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani, and former Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi will travel to Tehran,” Mohammad Kazem al-Sadeq, ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Baghdad, told Iranian state-owned ISNA news agency on Friday.
“The purpose of this trip is to participate in the Tehran Dialogue Forum, which is being organized by the Center for Political and International Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country,” he added.
