Al-Sudani highlighted the importance of developing the friendship between Spain and Iraq since there are "many commonalities and promising opportunities" to further their relationship.

The leaders agreed to implement a partnership in economic, political, security, cultural, and societal fields," as well as "holding a meeting of the Iraqi-Spanish Joint Committee at its thirteenth session in Baghdad in mid-2024, " and beginning discussions between the two nations and increasing mutual visits between the two.

The Iraqi PM praised Spain for its "courageous position" in condemning the attacks on the people of Gaza, which he considers to be "crimes and genocide, and exceeded all international laws and the laws of war."
