"Jaafari talked about aspects of the bilateral relations between the two countries and their importance in light of the historic ties between the two peoples," a statement said.
He praised "the positive development in relations in the recent period, and Kuwait's keenness on the stability of Iraq, and the implications for further development, and deepen cultural, commercial and economic relations."

"We have used the good initiatives from Kuwait, and we hope that they will continue to support Iraq," Jaafari also praised the Iraq reconstruction conference to be hosted by Kuwait in February.

He pointed out "the recovery of the Iraqi regional role and its restoration to its place in the region, which represents a great asset for the Arab nation to face the serious challenges it faces and preserve its territorial integrity."
