Separately, Foreign Minister of Turkey will visit Iraq and Syria on Monday to try to facilitate relations between the two nations.

Since 2003, tensions – prone to outbreaks since the late Saddam Hussein came to power in 1979 – have focused on accusations of the Government of Iraq saying Syria, estranged from Washington, has allowed insurgents to enter its territory.

Iraqi politicians also have lashed out at Saudi Arabia for inciting Sunni Islamist insurgents, a charge denied the kingdom. Although Baghdad's relations with Tehran are friendly, the U.S. military says Iran weapon and trains Shiite militants.

Meanwhile, Iraq's relations with Kuwait were strained due to the insistence of the southern country that Baghdad continues to pay billions of dollars as compensation for the 1990 invasion launched by the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Relations with the western neighbor Jordan are on the mend, and ties with Turkey have taken a notable turn for the better since last year.

We hope to gain the cooperation and approval of all the neighboring countries for this meeting he told reporters Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, through a translator during a visit to Iraq.

There have been several regional meetings on the conflict in Iraq since the overthrow Saddam in 2003 after the US-led invasion, but Baghdad's ties with its neighbors is fragile.

Iraqi officials often blame neighboring countries for the violence that continues to plague the country, more than six years after the invasion.

Maintaining security and stability in Iraq, or lose, has a direct impact on all neighbors, he said in a statement Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
