In an Iftar (fast breaking) reception given by the Iraqi president, the Iranian envoy said the political stability of Iraq was important to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Recalling Iran's support for Iraq in the fight against Daesh terrorist group, he said as Iran wanted Iraq to leave behind the Daesh crisis, today it wants to see the formation of the new Iraqi government in the wake of the fourth parliamentary elections held in the country.

The envoy voiced Iran's readiness for any kind of interaction with the new government to be formed in Iraq.

The Iraqi president said Iran's assistance to Iraq in its anti-terror fight prepared the ground for holding parliamentary elections. He termed the holding of parliamentary polls as an important step towards the country's political stability.
