Saudi defence minister calls Iraq ‘cherished neighbour’ after strikes
Saudi Arabia’s defence minister called Iraq a “cherished neighbour” in talks with a senior Iraqi army official on Thursday, despite last month’s deadly US-Saudi strikes on targets in the country.
He added that he had met with director of Iraq’s Office of the Commander in Chief Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, saying the pair “reviewed Saudi-Iraqi relations in the military and defence sectors” and discussed developments in the Middle East.
The Riyadh was the first announced by an Iraqi security official to Saudi Arabia since Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s trip to the kingdom was cancelled after the strikes on July 29.
