ISLAMABAD: Pakistani interior minister Rana Sanaullah arrived in Iraq on an official visit, his office said on Wednesday.
Last month Pakistan and Iraq signed agreements to enhance cultural cooperation and abolish visas on diplomatic and official passports during a visit to Baghdad by Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
“During his visit, the Interior Minister will meet the Iraqi President, Prime Minister and Interior Minister,” the interior ministry said. “A delegation of scholars is also accompanied by the Interior Minister.”
Relations between Pakistan and Iraq have received a boost with a number of ministerial-level exchanges in recent years.
In August last year, Iraq’s Foreign Minister Dr. Hussein visited Islamabad to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral relations.
During the visit, a memorandum of understanding on “Bilateral Political Consultations” was signed so that regular consultations on bilateral, regional and international issues could be held between the two nations.
