Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's "We are polite people! Reflections on foreign policy" book's translation was published in Iraq for his anniversary.
The idea of translation, according to RIA Novosti, was suggested by the Iraqi Ambassador to Amman, Haidar al-Azari, who previously headed the Iraqi diplomatic mission in Moscow.
He himself wrote a foreword to the book about Russian-Iraqi relations on the 75th anniversary of their establishment, pointing out their strategic nature. The editor added a biography of Lavrov to the book.
Sergey Lavrov celebrated his 70th birthday on March 21. Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the Foreign Minister the Hero of Labor.
