Mohit Joshi 10 April 2009

Al-Maliki in Moscow seeks closer relations with Russia Moscow- Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Friday in a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin requested greater investment by Russian firms in Iraq. According to the Interfax news agency, Putin agreed to help in the building of a "strong and independent Iraq."

In the first visit by an Iraqi prime minister to Moscow since the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein dictatorship, al-Maliki is also expected to visit Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Russia came out sharply against the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, which toppled Saddam Hussein. (dpa)
