Tehran, June 17, IRNA
Iran-Iraq-Conference
A conference of foreign ministers of Iraq's neighboring states plus Egypt would be held in Tehran from July 8-9, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Saturday.

Mottaki made the remark while speaking to reporters after a meeting with Leader of the United Iraqi Alliance and Head of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, who is currently on a visit to Iran.

"We sent invitations to (Iraqi) neighboring states and Egypt.

The conference can send a clear message to all countries," he said.

Pointing to ongoing visit by Hakim to Tehran, he added, "During meetings, the two sides discussed bilateral relations between Iran and Iraq.

"They also exchanged views on seven important documents which have been approved by the two countries' high council for cooperation in the fields of energy, oil and gas pipeline, electricity, Iran's participation in Iraq's reconstruction and border trade."
The Iranian minister urged all regional countries to help establish security in Iraq, saying, "Terrorist acts in Iraq are not limited just to this country but will damage all states in the region."
