Shura speaker meets Iraqi Council of Representatives speaker

QNA Doha Speaker of the Shura Council HE Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim on Tuesday met with Speaker of the Council of Representatives of the Republic of Iraq, Dr Mahmoud Al Mashhadani, who is now on a visit to the State of Qatar. Al Ghanim stressed, during the meeting, the depth of the fraternal ties between Qatar and Iraq, noting the constantly evolving Qatar-Iraq relationship at all levels, including the parliamentary relations. He underlined that the Shura Council is committed to boosting constructive cooperation and joint coordination with the Iraqi Council of Representatives, in pursuit of meeting the aspirations of the two brotherly peoples and serving their shared interests. For his part, Speaker of the Iraqi Council of Representatives underscored the keenness to expand the frontiers of parliamentary cooperation between the two nations and intensify consultations on issues of shared concern. He hailed the State of Qatar's role in supporting security and peace and strengthening sustainable development paths. Both sides discussed avenues for enhancing parliamentary cooperation between the two countries, as well as a range of topics of mutual interest. They also discussed developments in the region, particularly the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, emphasising the importance of strengthening joint Arab parliamentary action within international parliamentary unions—foremost among them the Inter-Parliamentary Union—with the aim of unifying positions and advancing Arab causes, chief among them the Palestinian cause, through effective influence on the course of international parliamentary decision-making.
