Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The President of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, Faiq Zaidan, and the Saudi Justice Minister, Walid al-Samaani, discussed on Wednesday approaches to enhance judicial and legal cooperation between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
During their meeting in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, the two sides discussed ways to deepen judicial and legal relations by enhancing cooperation between the institutions of the two countries.
Zaidan, accompanied by a high-level Iraqi judicial delegation, arrived on Wednesday morning in Riyadh in response to the Saudi Minister of Justice’s official invitation.
The Iraqi delegation includes the chief prosecutor, the Head of the Judicial Oversight Authority, and the Director of the General Department of Judicial Guards.
The visit is part of a larger effort to deepen judicial and legal relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, as well as to develop areas of cooperation between the two countries’ relevant institutions.
Iraq and Saudi Arabia are eagerly enhancing bilateral legal and judicial cooperation through high-level diplomatic visits, institutional coordination, and joint executive training programs to share experience and strengthen cross-border stability.
Zidan had previously attended formal consultations in Riyadh with Saudi judiciary authorities to improve institutional communication and evaluate mutual security-related court files.
Ongoing coordination supports broader dialogue between Iraqi judicial bodies and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) authorities to address regional legal and security issues.
