Iraqi Army Chief of Staff, General Othman Al-Ghanmi, met yesterday with a high-level Syrian army delegation to discuss security coordination and cooperation on border between the two countries.

“The meeting discussed the Iraqi-Syrian field of operations, it being one field against a common enemy, which is the terrorist ISIL organization,” the Iraqi defense ministry said in a statement.

The Iraqi army chief of staff said they also agreed to continue exchange of intelligence and information to provide flexibility for the Iraqi air forces to bomb targets near the border and prevent militants from access from one country to the other.

The head of the Syrian delegation hailed the victories of the Iraqi army in Mosul and stressed the importance of unifying the efforts in fighting ISIL.
