Iran and Iraq have signed agreements on the extradition of criminals, including provisions for the repatriation of convicts to their country of origin, Press TV reported.
Iraqi Justice Minister Hassan al-Shammari and his Iranian counterpart Morteza Bakhtiari signed the deals in Tehran on Sunday.
The Iraqi official reiterated his country's stance about the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) group, stating that Baghdad is determined to expel members of the group from Iraq by the end of 2011.
On April 8, a number of people were killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and MKO members residing at Camp Ashraf, which is located in Diyala province.
The U.S. designated the MKO a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997; the group is still on the list. Britain and the European Union took the group off their terrorist lists in 2008 and 2009 respectively after court rulings that found no evidence of terrorist actions after the MKO renounced violence in 2001.
On April 11, Iraqi government spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, said the cabinet was determined to shut the camp down.
The MKO fled to Iraq in the 1980s, where it enjoyed the support of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and set up Camp Ashraf in the eastern province of Diyala, near the Iranian border.
Over 3,000 MKO members are currently residing at the camp.
Since Saddam was deposed in 2003, the Iraqi government has set numerous deadlines for the group to leave the country.
Iran has repeatedly called on the Iraqi government to expel the group.
Al-Shammari also met with Iran's Judiciary Chief Sadeq Larijani on the sidelines of the signing ceremony.
Larijani lauded Iraq's efforts to deal with MKO, and called for closer political, economic and cultural ties between Tehran and Baghdad.
