A high-level delegation from the Iraqi Parliament arrived in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Saturday to meet with their counterparts in the Jordanian Parliament and discuss ways to enhance bilateral relations.

The visit comes in response to an official invitation from the Jordanian Parliament and is aimed at strengthening ties between the two states.

Led by Mohsen al-Mandlawi, the First Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, the delegation expressed their appreciation for Jordan’s support during Iraq’s most challenging times, including the siege and war on terrorism.
