Iraqi- Syrian relations are very good, member of Iraqi governing council says

A member of the Interim Governing Council in Iraq described his country's relations with Syria as "very good," saying Iraqi delegations and figures pay regular visits to Damascus.

Hajeb al-Husseini told reporters in Cairo after a meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher Sunday that he conveyed a message from the President of the Interim Governing Council in Iraq, Jalal Talbani, to President Hosni Mubarak, on the latest agreement between the Council and the British-American coalition forces in his country.

Husseini added the Council calls for an Egyptian key role in the rebuilding of Iraq.
