A Saudi Arabian delegation arrived in Baghdad on Monday to discuss with their Iraqi counterparts the framework of the Saudi-Iraqi Coordination Council, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The delegation was led by Dr. Majid al-Qassabi, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Commerce and Acting Minister of Media.

The group will discuss the frameworks of the economic, trade, investment and joint relief committees, SPA reported.
