Iraq security meeting wraps up in Iran
Afp, Tehran
Officials from Iraq and its neighbours yesterday wrapped up a two-day conference aimed at improving security in the violence-stricken country, amid an Iranian campaign for the withdrawal of foreign troops from its neighbour. As the host of the meeting of foreign ministers Iran also used the event to launch a fresh attack on Israel -- with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Islamic countries to mobilise and "remove" the Jewish state. A final statement said delegates had "expressed their full support" for the Iraqi government and a "free, independent, democratic and unified federal Iraq based on good-neighbourly relations, non-interference in each others' internal affairs and respect of international and bilateral treaties."
