Saudi
Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Thursday offered his full support
for Iraq's continued security in a phone call to Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi.
"His Highness...
expressed...full support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Iraq and its
support for its permanent security and prosperity," a statement from Abd al-Mahdi's
office said.
The Iraqi premier
welcomed the "development of relations", the statement said.
In October 2017, two
months before Iraq declared victory over ISIS, the countries established the
Iraqi-Saudi Joint Coordination Council, to help rebuild devastated areas
retaken from the Islamist militants in Iraq.
