talabaniIraqi President Jalal Talabani has warned that spread of terrorism in the region would serve the interests of the Israeli regime.

In a meeting with Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi on Thursday, Talabani praised his country’s consolidated and deep-rooted relations with the Islamic Republic.
Vahidi, for his part, said the Iraqi president played an effective role in the expansion of defense cooperation between Tehran and Baghdad.

Heading a high-ranking defense delegation, Vahidi arrived in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Wednesday on an official visit at the invitation of his Iraqi counterpart Sadoun al-Dulaimi.

Upon arrival at the Baghdad International Airport, Vahidi told reporters that his visit was aimed at exploring ways to expand defense ties between Iran and Iraq, exchange views on major international and regional developments and pursue the implementation of defense agreements between the two countries.

The Iranian minister held talks with senior Iraqi officials including Sadoun al-Dulaimi, National Security advisor Faleh al-Fayad and Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi.

This is the first visit by an Iranian defense minister to Iraq since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
