Tishwash:  Iraqi Foreign Minister: We reject the threat to our country's sovereignty

Iraqi Foreign Minister, Fouad Hussein, said that his country rejects the use of its territory to attack Iran, but it also rejects “threatening Iraqi sovereignty.”

This came during a joint press conference held by Hussein, yesterday, Tuesday, with his Austrian counterpart, Alexander Schallenberg, according to the official Iraqi News Agency (INA).

Hussein said, "The Iraqi constitution prohibits any party from using Iraqi lands to attack neighboring countries."

He added, "Iraq's relations with Iran are strong, and this relationship prevents the use of violence," noting that "Iraq refuses to use its territory to attack Iran by some groups (armed groups), and we also reject the threat to Iraqi sovereignty."

He pointed out that "Iraq is committed to the agreement concluded with the Iranian side, which included removing armed groups from the border and transferring them to camps deep in the region (Kurdistan) and far from the border."

He pointed out that he will visit Iran today, Wednesday, to "discuss the implementation of this agreement by both sides."

On the other hand, the Iraqi minister discussed with his Austrian counterpart a number of files, most notably the political relations between the two countries, as well as the work of Austrian companies in Iraq and the return of flights to Austrian Airlines.

On Monday, the Austrian Foreign Minister arrived in Baghdad on an official visit that lasted two days, during which he announced the reopening of his country’s embassy in Iraq, more than 30 years after its closure.

Vienna closed its embassy in Baghdad in 1991 following the Gulf War (1990-1991), and since that time the Austrian embassy in Jordan has performed the duties of the embassy in Baghdad. link
