"Foreign Minister Mohammed Ali al-Hakim met Canadian Ambassador to Baghdad Paul Gibard and discussed means of enhancing strategic relations between the two countries and stressing the importance of achieving common interests in the different fields of the two friendly peoples," his office said in a statement received by Al-Ghad Press.

He expressed his hope to "work to support and strengthen the Iraqi-Canadian relations, reflecting their privacy and strategy," stressing "the importance of continuing to work to achieve the common interests of the two friendly countries in the next phase."

For his part, Gibard congratulated the minister on "the occasion of assuming the post of foreign minister in the new Iraqi government."
