BAGHDAD, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Changes in U.S. foreign policy under President Barack Obama would be "happy news", the foreign minister of arch-foe Iran said on Wednesday.

"We look positively on the slogan that Obama raised in the elections. The world has really changed," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said through an Arabic interpreter during a visit to neighbouring Iraq. "If the American administration wants to keep up with the changes, this will be happy news." (Reporting by Ahmed Rasheed; writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Charles Dick)
