The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that Foreign Minister Assad Al-Shibani has received an invitation to visit Iraq.
The exact date of the visit will be determined later, following the completion of the agenda and the necessary technical consultations to set a suitable time.
According to the ministry’s media office, as reported by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the visit will focus on discussing several mutual issues and opening a new chapter in bilateral relations between the two countries.
Earlier on Friday, two Iraqi sources told Reuters that Al-Shibani is expected to visit Baghdad on Saturday.
Al-Shibani had previously stated earlier this month that he had received an official invitation to visit Iraq and that he would be traveling to Baghdad "soon."
