DOHA (AA) – Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Monday reiterated his country’s support for Iraq’s unity and stability.

The assertion came during a meeting between Tamim and Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri, who arrived in Doha on Sunday for an official visit.

Al-Jabouri thanked the Qatari leadership for their support for Iraq in different fields, including terrorism-combat, the official QNA news agency said.

Monday’s meeting tackled bilateral relations between the two countries and developments in Iraq and the region, QNA said.

In a donor conference held in Kuwait earlier this month, Qatar pledged $1 billion in loans and investments for rebuilding Iraq following the country’s fight against the Daesh terrorist group.
