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.
