Mohammad Kazem Ale-Sadeq, Iran's ambassador to Iraq, emphasizing the deep and common historical and cultural relations between the two countries, said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran has a special and high concern for cooperation with Iraq in all fields and appreciated the efforts of the Iraqi delegation in the recent trip to Iran and the efforts to sign a memorandum of understanding on cultural cooperation between the two countries."
Iran's ambassador to Iraq also met with the Iraqi Minister of Culture and Tourism Hassan Nazem on Monday and exchanged views on expanding cultural cooperation between the two countries.
Cultural cooperation between Iraq and Iran is not only limited to the field of cinema and extends to the fields of religious tourism, antiquities, literature, exchange of experiences in various cultural fields and transformative cooperation in the restoration and maintenance of works and manuscripts.
Among the Arab countries of West Asia, Iraq has the most cultural and religious affinities with Iran.
Having the longest border among the neighbors (about 1258 km land border and 351 km water border), as well as racial, historical, linguistic ties, religious commonalities and the existence of threats and common security and economic interests are considered important points in Iran-Iraq relations.
Expanding relations between Iran and Iraq in recent years has always been on the agenda of the authorities of the two countries due to the many cultural, political, and religious commonalities.
