Jawad Zarif in a meeting with Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri in Tehran reaffirmed Iran's commitment to combat terrorism and extremism in the region, Fars News agency reported.
"Iran will stand by the Iraqi government and nation to help solve their internal problems, as well as regional and international problems, particularly in the campaign against violence and extremism," Press TV quoted Zarif said at this Saturday meeting.
Zarif also put emphasizes on partnership of all Iraqi groups in building the future of this country.
He called Iraq as one of the most influential Arab and Islamic countries that has to regain its status as soon as possible.
The Iraqi Speaker, for his part, hailed Iran's support for the Iraqi nation, and asked the Iranian government to stand by Baghdad for solving its internal crisis and fighting extremism.
Earlier on Saturday, in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani in Tehran, al-Jabouri described terrorism and economic crisis as two major problems that his country is facing, and said Baghdad cannot resolve them without Iran's assistance.
"The spread of terrorism over a large part of Iraq and confronting economic crisis are two important challenges that Iraq is facing and today we had a long discussion about these issues with Mr. Larijani," he added.
Jabouri underlined that all the regional countries should endeavor to harness the ominous phenomenon of terrorism.
Larijani, for his part, stressed the brotherly and friendly relations between Tehran and Baghdad, and said, "We are happy that today Iraq is an important regional state with a democratic system."
He also said that the issues discussed during his today meeting with Jabouri included expansion of bilateral trade ties, deepening of bilateral political and economic relations, establishment of sustainable security in the region and campaign against terrorism.
Iran and Iraq have enjoyed growing ties ever since the overthrow of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, during the 2003 US invasion of the Muslim country.
