Baghdad – Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Sunday welcomed the nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group, considering it a major step for stability in the Middle East region.

“Reaching an agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the six nations over Iran’s nuclear programme is a major step in the security and stability of the region,” Xinhua quoted al-Maliki as saying.

“We hope that the process of confidence-building and dialogue will continue in the interest of both the sides to prevent nuclear proliferation and recognise the right of Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme,” al-Maliki added.

Al-Maliki also expressed hope that the agreement would help in elimination of weapons of mass destruction in the region.
