Iraqi president congratulates Ahmadinejad on election victory
2009-06-15
Iraq's president has congratulated his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his re-election. Jalal Talabani is the second head of state in the world to offer support for the hard-liner following Afghan President Hamid Karzai's statement.

Talabani says the victory shows support for Ahmadinejad personally as well as "the approach taken by the Islamic Republic" under Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Talabani expressed confidence "that the friendly and neighborly relations" will improve in the coming years.
