Iraq
PM to visit Turkey, Iran
BAGHDAD - Agence France-Presse
Iraq’s Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi is to visit Turkey and Iran next week, an
official said on Aug. 11.
Abadi “will head to Turkey on Tuesday
[Aug. 14] and Iran on Wednesday [Aug. 15] to discuss economic affairs
with the two countries,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
Iraq is the second-largest importer
of Iranian non-hydrocarbon products, buying some $6 billion worth of goods from
its eastern neighbour in 2017.
It also buys in Iranian-generated
electricity in efforts to deal with chronic power cuts that have been a key
factor sparking mass protests in recent weeks.
Abadi last week said Iraq would
reluctantly comply with sanctions against Tehran which took effect the same
day.
It came after the U.S. President Donald
Trump administration’s unilateral withdrawal from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal
between Iran and world powers.
“We don’t support the sanctions because
they are a strategic error, but we will comply with them,” Abadi said.
But it also has strong ties to Tehran, a
Shiite powerhouse that is heavily involved in Iraq’s political affairs.
Abadi’s visit to Ankara is also
overshadowed by a bitter row between NATO allies Turkey and the U.S.
