AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran and Iraq will improve their cooperation in the field of communication to remove concerns about providing timely services to Arbaeen pilgrims.
Iranian and Iraqi Ministers of Communications agreed to improve communication capacities and remove concerns about rendering timely services to the pilgrims during Arbaeen ritual ceremonies.
The agreement was reached in the meeting of Iran's Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Azeri Jahromi and his Iraqi counterpart Naeem Sajil Yasser.
The two sides in this meeting which was occurred after the opening ceremony of the International Exhibition of Electronics, Computers, and E-Commerce (Elecomp 2019), talked about many issues including mutual interests.
Iran's Jahromi said during the meeting that the visa waiver between the two countries is regarded as a great decision.
"The people of Iran love Imam Hussein (AS), and this year, four million Iranians are expected to be in the Shia Imam's shrine in the Arbaeen rituals," Jahromi added.
It is noteworthy to mention that Arbaeen commemorates the 40th day of Imam Hossein’s martyrdom in the battle of Karbala in 680 AD.
