Jordan’s Minister of Supply,
Trade and Industry Tariq al-Hamouri will lead an official economic delegation
in a visit to Baghdad on Saturday, media channels reported.
The delegation, composed of 70 businessmen, will hold talks on the private
sector level, in addition to talks with officials from the government to ensure
going forward in projects agreed on between the two governments, Jordan’s
Al-Ghad newspaper reported.
The report quoted Youssef al-Shemali, secretary general of the ministry, as
saying that “the visit comes to follow up on what has been agreed on between
the two countries, on the sidelines of the recent visit by Prime Minister Omar
al-Razzaz to Baghdad.”
The exports from Jordan to Iraq, according to Shemali, “saw a significant
increase over the past period of time,” expecting further increase.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II paid a visit earlier this month, marking his first
official visit to Iraq for over 10 years. He visited Iraq for the last time in
2008 after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was toppled.
