Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held bilateral talks with Iraqi President Barham Salih and Jordan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi in Rome on Friday.
"And once again I would like also personally to congratulate you on getting this position after you finalised the formation of the new structures on the basis of May elections. Really very glad that this process has succeeded, unlike in some other countries," Lavrov told the Iraqi President.
"Iraq is a fascinating place. A lot of challenges but it somehow bumps along, moves along, which is good. Positive story in that sense. I remember with gratitude and affection our meeting last time in Moscow and I am happy to see you here and pleased. I send my appreciation to the president and for his kind congratulation that was already said," Salih responded.
Both meetings happened on the sidelines of the Mediterranean Dialogues forum.
