The Libyan Government of National Unity and the Iraqi government have signed various cooperation agreements and memorandums of understanding following a joint committee meeting in Baghdad. Led by Libyan official Taher Al-Baour and Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein, the meetings established executive programs covering political, economic, commercial, investment, security, transportation, education, culture, and health sectors.

This development marks the resumption of high-level institutional cooperation between the two nations, as the Libya-Iraq Joint Committee had been inactive for approximately 25 years. Operations were previously halted following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 2011 fall of the Muammar Gaddafi regime in Libya.
