Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan and his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein met in the Saudi capital Riyadh to boost regional cooperation, Anadolu reported.

The officials analysed the future of Saudi-Iraqi relations and ways to support and enhance them to serve the interests of the two countries.

Last month, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Commerce Majid Bin Abdullah Al Qasabi stressed that his government will continue to support Iraq on “all levels” along with investment opportunities across the country.

“The Kingdom’s first and last concern was to support Iraq and its stability, indicating that the Kingdom supported Iraq in the reconstruction of cities liberated from Daesh through the Saudi Investment Fund,” he said.
