Baghdad is serious to sign economic agreements with Syria, ambassador says
Iraqi ambassador in Syria Ala al-Jawadi stressed Iraq’s wish to sign economic agreements with Syria, including an oil pipeline linking Kirkuk oilfield to a Mediterranean terminal and developing an Iraqi gas field near Syria.
"I expect substantial progress. What I heard directly from the leadership of my country is that Iraq is serious and ready to remove the obstacles standing in the way of these two strategic projects," during an interview told Reuters.
It is worth mentioning that al-Jawadi, who is Iraq’s first ambassador to Syria in almost 30 years, presented his credentials to President Bashar al-Assad a few days ago.
