Iraq and Iran: Stability Talks

Question
What was the outcome of the recent discussions with Iran on stabilising Iraq.
Answer

My Lords, we welcome the fact that the US and Iranian ambassadors to Iraq and Iraqi government representatives met on 28 May in Baghdad. Her Majesty’s Government were not represented atthe meeting, so it would not be appropriate for usto characterise the outcomes. However, we have impressed on Iran bilaterally that a stable and secure Iraq is in the interests of all its neighbours, and that Iran should desist from activities which undermine that objective.
