Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei and Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji on Thursday affirmed the paramount importance of national security for their respective nations.

During a meeting in Baghdad, al-Araji suggested that both nations develop strategies to enhance cooperation in matters of regional security and stability.

He reaffirmed his eagerness to effectively abide by the prominent security agreement established between Tehran and Baghdad in March 2023.

He further underscored that his country remains steadfast in its commitment to preventing the utilization of its territory for hostile actions against neighboring nations or any other countries.

On March 19, 2023, Iran and Iraq signed a prominent security treaty to prevent anti-Iranian terrorist groups from operating within Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

Under the terms of the treaty, Iraq's central government deployed military personnel to patrol the border regions separating Kurdistan and Iran.

Iranian authorities have expressed satisfaction with Iraq’s adherence to the pact; however, they maintain that further measures are necessary.
