Joint Iraq-Iran border committee work still continuing – Under-secretary

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: The technical Iraq-Iran border demarcation committee is still working, but did not complete its duties fully, foreign ministry undersecretary said here today. The work of the committee is within the framework of new agreements between the two countries. Labeed Abawi said to IraqiNews.com that “there is full understanding and cooperation to finish this job”. “The demarcation comes within the new agreements, old maps, but not within the Algiers agreement, as some people think”, he added.
