Larijani stressed the need for the promotion of unity among Iraqi political parties and blocs so that the country’s path to democracy will not be obstructed.
 
He went on to say that the complicated situation in the region and the prospect of future developments in the Muslim world necessitate constant consultation between Iran and Iraq.
 
Al-Suhail, for his part, pointed to the effective role of parliamentary cooperation in bringing the two countries closer, calling for the exchange of experience between the Iraqi and Iranian parliaments.
 
He stressed that all Iraqi political parties and camps consider dialogue as the only promising solution to discord and problems in the Arab country.
