| 2006-07-07 |
| In a meeting with Larijani, Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani said that Iraq is looking to Iran because of the two countries' geographical, economic and political commonalities. He "praised Iran's efforts to revive Islam as well as approve and implement laws and regulations based on Islam in the past 25 years. The Iraqi speaker expressed his view that consolidation of parliamentary relations between the two countries can provide a solid basis for expansion of mutual ties in all fields". Al-Mashhadani said, "an Islamic and free Iraq is treading the path mandated by Islam." Al-Mashhadani all but stated that he wants Iraq to become an Islamic republic just like Iran. Larijani responded in kind, saying al-Mashhadani's visit "shows the close cooperation between the two countries despite alleged differences between Shiites and Sunnis". "The visit by al-Mashhadani indicates that the two countries have a strategic and friendly cooperation based on their love for Islam," Larijani said. |
