Iraq welcomed an agreement reached Friday between Iran and Saudi Arabia to resume diplomatic ties, saying the move would turn a new leaf in relations between its two neighbours.
"A new page has been opened in diplomatic relations between the two countries," said a statement from the foreign ministry of Iraq, which had hosted several rounds of reconciliation talks between the regional rivals since 2021.
