Abstract EN

The history of Iraqi-Saudi relations has always been surrounded by mutual doubts and conflict, more than relations based on a common understanding useful in developing relations between two neighboring Muslim and Arab countries that have deep-rooted historical ties and comprehensive extensions, as the Iraqi-Saudi relations since the establishment of the two states-Iraq in 1921 and Saudi Arabia in 1921 1932-Until 2003, it was characterized by instability, suspicion, and caution.

The period from 2003 to 2014 was characterized by Saudi distancing from Iraq, and this stage only resulted in a continuous exchange of accusations between the two countries.

After 2014-with Haider al-Abadi assuming the premiership-the two countries' relations were characterized by cooperation, rapprochement, and the adoption of zero-problem policies.

Therefore, it can be said that during this period - from 2003 to the present day-there were many determinants and elements that greatly affected the relations of the two countries, and framed those relations as they are today.
