BAGHDAD: Cuba's parliament speaker Ricardo Alarcon held talks with his Iraqi counterpart Saadun Hammadi on Saturday at the start of a visit to Baghdad, parliamentary officials said.

They said the aim of the visit was to further boost the close ties between the two countries, both of which are on a US list of pariah states.

The Cuban foreign ministry condemned the US and British air strikes around Baghdad on February 16, branding the operation as the latest in a "long series of criminal and hostile actions" against Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War. (AFP)
