ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi held a phone call with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, where the two discussed the betterment of cooperation between the "brotherly" countries.
The Iraqi PM "emphasized the depth of bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries," while also calling for greater cooperation at "various levels, in a manner that achieves the interests and prosperity of the peoples of the two countries."
"Sincerest congratulations" were also shared between the top officials regarding the occasion of the month of Ramadan, which commenced on Saturday.
