'Honest, sincere': Iraqi PM condoles with Leader over Raisi demise
Sudani offered Iraq’s condolences to the Iranian leadership, government and nation over the tragic loss.
“What we saw in Mr. Raeisi, the martyred president of Iran, was nothing but honesty, sincerity, purity, work and ... serving the people,” the top Iraqi official said.
“The images I saw on TV today bore clear messages,” Sudani added. “The most important message is the deep, strong relationship between people and authorities in the Islamic Republic despite all the pressure, sanctions and this unfortunate incident.”
The Iraqi prime minister underlined, “Another message of the presence of millions of people in the funeral ceremony is that [officials] should serve the people and this massive funeral is the result of serving the people and this lesson should be the top-line policy in Iraq as well.”
In the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei appreciated Sudani for his visit to Tehran and his expression of sympathy, saying, “We have lost an outstanding figure. President Raeisi was a great brother and an efficient, competent, sincere and serious official."
The Leader said that Iran’s interim president Mohammad Mokhber, who has assumed duties in managing the executive branch, will continue the same path of cooperation and agreements with the Iraqi government.
