President of Iraq Fuad Masoum is to visit Iran next week. Iran's Ambassador to Baghdad Hassan Danaeifar said that several Iraqi cabinet ministers will accompany the president during his three-day visit, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported May 5. Danaeifar held talks with President Masoum on May 5 morning to coordinate preparatory works for the visit at invitation of the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The two sides discussed growing trend of bilateral relations in politico-economic and cultural fields. Enhanced interaction and cooperation in the field of security and fight against terrorism had always been emphasized by leaders of the two governments. Iran’s First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri during his visit to Baghdad last February delivered invitation of President Rouhani to his Iraqi counterpart to pay a visit to Iran. This is the first ever visit of President Masoum to Iran since he took office last summer. /By Trend/
