[Al Ahram] Iran's diminutive President Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad said in Iraq on Thursday that Tehran and Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... have an "exceptional" role to play in the region's security. "The role of the two countries in the security of the region is exceptional," Ahmadinejad told news hounds in Storied Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, but without elaborating. "We carry a joint message, which is a message of progress and stability and security, and also a message of peace," Ahmadinejad said after talks with Iraqi Vice President Khudayr Al-Khuzaie. Ahmadinejad, whose term ends early next month, arrived in Iraq to a red carpet welcome. He also met Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki, a statement on the premier's website said. Maliki said at the meeting that "Iraq supports peaceful solutions for all the problems in the region," and told Ahmadinejad Iranian companies were welcome to take part in the reconstruction of Iraq, the statement said. Ahmadinejad plans to visit the shrine of Imam Hussein in Karbala and that of Imam Ali in Najaf, two of the holiest sites in Shiite Islam, Maliki's front man Ali Mussawi said. |
