The meeting, held at al-Araji’s office in Baghdad, focused on recent regional developments and underscored the ongoing cooperation between Iraq and the United States, particularly in the areas of counterterrorism and other shared interests.
A statement from the National Security Adviser’s media office, shared with The Iraqi News Agency (INA), highlighted the mutual commitment to strengthening Iraq’s position as a key player in regional and international security efforts.
Both officials reaffirmed Iraq's vital role in fostering peace and stability, acknowledging the country's importance in addressing security challenges at both regional and global levels.
