Iran and Iraq have issued a joint statement on expanding cooperation in science and culture, marking a new step in bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries.
This announcement comes as both sides stress the importance of enhancing people-to-people exchanges and knowledge transfer, which are seen as key to deepening mutual understanding and promoting regional stability.
Planned cooperation areas include scientific research, higher education, cultural heritage preservation, and cultural and artistic exchange programs between the two nations.
The move is viewed as part of broader efforts by Tehran and Baghdad to strengthen ties across multiple sectors, from economy to security, amid a volatile Middle East landscape.
