Iraq to commemorate Iranian Film Week

Iranian Film Week is scheduled to be commemorated in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, said Iraqi Minister of Culture and Tourism Hassan Nazim.

According to an announcement made by Nazim and Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad, Mohammad Kazem Al-Sadeq, that simultaneously with the event, the two countries will launch their joint project to produce a film that will document how the fight against the Daesh terror group took place in Iraq.

The statement also said that the Iraqi minister and the Iranian ambassador discussed cultural ties between the two countries and explored way to further expand them.

The Iranian diplomat said that among the Arab countries of West Asia, Iraq has the most cultural and religious affinities with Iran.

In recent years, expanding relations between Iran and Iraq has always been on the agenda of the authorities of the two countries due to the many cultural, political, and religious commonalities.

The Iranian cinema week will be held on July 23-26, 2022 at Iraq's national theater center.
