The Iraqi President asked the ambassador to communicate his greetings to President Ilham Aliyev, and wished the people of Azerbaijan continued development and progress.

Highlighting the relations between the two countries advancing on an increasing trend over the past two years, the diplomat noted that the official visit of President Abdullatif Jamal Rashid to Azerbaijan on November 20-21 last year opened a new chapter in the history of bilateral relations, giving a major impetus to developing the high-level reciprocal visits and relations.
