Iranian Foreign Minister, Kamal Kharazi, will go to Baghdad Thursday, "possibly by plane", for the first visit to Iraq by an Iranian foreign minister since the Islamic revolution of 1979, a ministry official said Tuesday.
"Mr. Kharazi, leading an Iranian delegation, will go to Baghdad on Thursday for a two-day visit to Iraq," the official told AFP.
The official said Kharazi could fly to Baghdad, joining a string of Arab and other states which have tested a UN embargo on flights in recent weeks to sanctions-hit Iraq.
