A Jordanian parliamentary delegation, headed by Lower House Speaker Atef Tarawneh, arrived in Baghdad on Tuesday (February 5th) for a two-day official visit upon an invitation from Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed Halbousi.
The delegation was scheduled to meet with Iraqi President Barham Saleh, Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and Halbousi over bilateral relations and ways to enhance them in all fields, the Jordanian news agency, Petra, reported.
Lawmakers from the two countries were to discuss building a unified Jordanian-Iraqi stance on various issues of mutual concern.
Jordan and Iraq recently signed several co-operation agreements in the fields of oil, electricity and trade.
Economic relations between the two countries have seen progress in the past few months, marked by King Abdullah's visit to Baghdad last month, and a visit by Prime Minister Omar Razzaz in December.
