tigergorzow Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Iraq-Saudi talks seek to end 25-year-old discord March 13 2017 04:18 PM Iraqi-Saudi talks After a 25-year-old rift, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have taken initial steps to put an end to estrangement, The Baghdad Post reported on Monday. Both sides have agreed on the establishment of a joint coordination council, reopening of land border crossings, resuming air traffic, launching security and intelligence cooperation as well as Saudi contribution to the reconstruction of the Iraqi newly-liberated areas from ISIS. This came during Iraqi-Saudi talks currently held in Riyadh as Iraqi Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Nizar Khairallah is visiting the kingdom. In a press statement, spokesman for the Iraqi foreign ministry, said the talks between his country's delegation and the Saudi officials were "characterized by seriousness and deep scrutiny of issues of mutual concern that focused on turning over a new leaf in the bilateral relations on the principle of mutual confidence." The Saudis have suggested the formation of a joint coordination council as well as tackling a series of issues that included the reopening of border crossings and facilitating the passage of Iraqi pilgrims into Saudi Arabia and the Saudi visitors to the Shiite sanctuaries in Iraq. The talks also dealt with issues related to fuel, oil refining and energy as well as launching new Saudi investments in Iraq, the spokesman added, indicating both sides have discussed their stances towards a number of regional issues. These talks come as a resumption of previous talks launched by Saudi foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, in Baghdad in late February. During his visit, al-Jubeir informed Iraqi PM Haidar al-Abadi his country's desire to appoint a new ambassador to Baghdad. The Iraqi-Saudi relations have seen escalating tensions since the Gulf War in 1990. But in 2014, late King Abdullah tried to revive relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia by setting up an embassy there. He also attempted to increase Iraqi-Saudi relations by supporting the coalition in the fight against ISIS that invaded large swathes of Iraq. In 2015, Riyadh appointed Thamer al-Subhan as its first ambassador to Baghdad in quarter a century. However, the Iraqi authorities asked Saudi Arabia to change al-Subhan over accusations of interfering in its internal affairs. http://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/story/8079/Iraq-Saudi-talks-seek-to-end-25-year-old-discord 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiljor Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Iraq, March 14, 2017 A shipment of medical aid that weighs 10 tons was dispatched from Saudi Arabia to Iraq on Monday to prevent an outbreak of the cholera disease in the war-torn country, the Makkah newspaper reported. The aid shipment, which has been provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, had been scheduled to reach Iraq seven months ago but the Iraqi government was late in carrying out required procedures. Necessary procedures on the Iraqi health ministry’s part included specifying the number of beneficiaries and the areas where the aid would be distributed as well as the entity that would be in charge of receiving the shipment from the Saudi team accompanying it. As a result from the delay on the Iraqi side, Saudi Arabia had to ask the companies that provided the medical items and drugs to replace them with items that had a later expiry date in accordance with the period during which such drugs would be consumed, Makkah added. The Saudi side stressed that it is important for the Iraqi government to identify the entity which would be in charge of receiving the Saudi shipment at the airport so as to avoid any possible complications. middleeastmonitor http://iraqdailyjournal.com/story-z14949630 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigergorzow Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Footage: Saudi plane laden with relief aid arrives at Baghdad airport March 15 2017 12:20 PM Saudi relief aid to Iraq A plane loaded with relief aid has arrived from Saudi Arabia to Baghdad International Airport. The plane carried ten tons of vaccines, relief aid and medical supplies to the Iraqi people, a press source said on Wednesday. In early March, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir paid a surprise visit to Iraq. Al-Jubeir’s visit to Baghdad was the first by a Saudi foreign minister since 1990. Al-Jubeir stated Riyadh’s willingness to help bridge the sectarian divide and end any differences between the two countries. Relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia are gradually improving after tense relations that followed remarks by Saudi Ambassador to Baghdad Thamer al-Thabhan on intervention of Iran militias in the Iraqi internal affairs. Iraq has later asked Saudi Arabia to replace its ambassador in Baghdad after he said that Iranian-backed Shiite paramilitary units were aggravating tensions with Sunni Muslims in Iraq. http://www.thebaghdadpost.com/en/story/8150/Footage-Saudi-plane-laden-with-relief-aid-arrives-at-Baghdad-airport 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
