Tehran (ISNA) - Referring to Iraq's privileged position within the policy of maximising relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and its neighbours, Iranian President said, "We hope that the process of forming political structures in Iraq will proceed through national solidarity and unity to lead to stability and increasing progress of the Iraqi nation".

Speaking in a telephone conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said that the expansion and deepening of relations between the two countries has always been emphasised by the Islamic Republic of Iran, adding, "In the foreign policy of the 13th Administration regarding the expansion of relations with neighbouring and regional countries, Iraq has a privileged position".

The President added, "A strong and comprehensive government and a strong and united society in Iraq have always been emphasised by Iran".

Pointing out that Tehran and Baghdad had a successful experience in dealing with ISIL and Takfiri groups, which could continue in the field of strengthening regional security and stability, President Raisi said, "All problems and issues in the region can be resolved provided that transregional powers stop their intervention".

"The problems in the region are the result of the Americans' extravagance, and if they are expelled from the region in a real way, we will see that the countries of the region themselves can fully establish peace, stability and security by working together in the region," he said.

Referring to the hardships inflicted on the Yemeni people, the President expressed hope that the Iraqi government would be able to take the lead in a regional initiative to lift the siege and enforce the rights of the Yemeni people.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, for his part, said that increasing the level of economic exchanges with Iran is very important for Iraq, adding, "Baghdad fully welcomes the policy of expanding Iran's neighbourhood and regional relations and we hope the level of cooperation and relations between the two countries will increase and deepen".
