Iraqi PM to Visit Kuwait and Bahrain, Spokesperson Says

Iraq ·

Al-Aboudi told Al-Iraqiya News that the visits form part of a government drive to strengthen ties with neighbouring and influential states. He framed them as serving Iraq's national interests.

Iraq's relations with Kuwait were badly damaged by Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, and Baghdad has since sought closer ties with its Gulf neighbours.
