NNA - House Speaker, Nabih Berri, on Monday received a phone call from Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani, congratulating him on his efforts in facilitating the election of Lebanon's new president and in working to halt the recent Israeli aggression against Lebanon.  

In response, Berri expressed gratitude to Iraq, represented by its leadership, religious authorities, and people, for their continuous support for Lebanon, especially during the recent Israeli war, when Iraq provided refuge to displaced Lebanese.
