TEHRAN, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Friday his three-day trip to Iraq was aimed at promoting unity and solidarity between the two countries.

He made the remarks in an address to reporters upon his arrival in the Iranian capital Tehran from Iraq, while elaborating on the outcomes of the visit, according to a statement released by the website of his office.

He noted that his discussions with Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani, and other senior officials covered political, economic, cultural, and security ties.

Pezeshkian added that, in addition to signing 14 memoranda of understanding, it was agreed during the trip that teams from both countries would develop long-term strategic plans to be signed in the future.

Heading a high-ranking delegation, Pezeshkian arrived in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Wednesday for his first foreign visit since assuming office as Iran's ninth president in late July.
