He said he expected the two countries to set up the chambers in near future.

Talking to IRNA on Monday, he said he had discussed the plan in detail with his Iraqi counterpart.

He further pointed to the exchange of about 5 million visitors and the growing trend of trade between the two countries every year.

Stressing that Iraq deals very strongly with those who embark on illegal entry into its territory, he called on the Iranian pilgrims who intend to visit Iraq for Arbaeen rituals to absolutely use visas.

Arbaeen religious rituals are performed on Nov. 20 this year. Millions of Iranians travel to the holy city of kerbala in Iraq.
