ERBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Thursday offered his full support for Iraq's continued security in a phone call to Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.

The countries have been at loggerheads since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The call was the latest indication of attempts to improve relations, which began with the reopening of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Baghdad in 2016.
