However,Egypt's strong material and diplomatic support for Iraq in its war with Iran led to warmer relations and numerous contacts between senior officials,despite the continued absence of ambassadorial-level representation. Since 1983,Iraq has repeatedly called for the restoration of Egypt's "natural role" among Arab countries. In January 1984,Iraq successfully led Arab efforts within the OIC to restore Egypt's membership.
