Iraqi officials and the Russian delegation currently visiting Baghdad will discuss possible deliveries of modern Russian weaponry to the Iraqi armed forces, member of the Iraqi parliament's foreign relations committee Iqbal Abdul Hussein said Wednesday.

CAIRO (Sputnik) — The negotiators would also discuss upcoming bilateral meetings.

"The main topic set to be discussed by the sides is the termination of the Islamic State group, as well as deliveries of modern Russian-produced weapons to the Iraqi army, seeing the fact that many Iraqi army officers received their education in Russia," Abdul Hussein told RIA Novosti.
