Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shibani has received an invitation to visit Iraq with the date to be determined later after consultations on the agenda, Syria's state news agency SANA said on Friday.
Two Iraqi sources had told Reuters earlier in the day that Shibani would pay an official visit to Baghdad on Saturday.
SANA said that during the visit issues of common interest would be addressed to open a new page in bilateral ties, after the overthrow by rebels in December of Syrian autocratic leader Bashar al-Assad following 13 years of civil war.

Saudi Arabia ordered an Iranian diplomat and three members of his team to leave the country Saturday, as the Kingdom continues to absorb Iranian missile strikes launched in retaliation for the US-Israeli military campaign against Tehran.
Around 59 people were wounded - most lightly - by Iranian missile strikes on Dimona in southern Israel, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom, as reported by multiple Israeli media outlets.
Iran's military issued a stark warning Saturday, threatening to launch "violent strikes" against the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah if Abu Dhabi allowed attacks against Iranian-controlled islands in the Gulf.
