Amman
- Jordan has decided to execute a number of economic
projects in Iraqi Kurdistan region and to supply
with the necessary expertise to achieve
comprehensive development in the region.
This decision was taken after approximately 80
companies and institutions from the Jordanian
private sector have participate in the Iraq
reconstruction exhibition in Arbil city, which was
held in the middle of last September.
The owners of these companies were introduced to the
opportunities of mutual investments that can be
established in Kurdistan region, which consists of a
number of provinces. It also came in the light of
the preparations launched on behalf of the officials
in the region for executing mutual projects,
attracting Arab, Jordanian and Islamic investments
to the region, and offering the necessary incentives
and facilities for the success of these projects.
It is worth mentioning that Nechervan Barzani, Prime
Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, has
requested for the help of Jordan for improving the
economy of the region and supplying it with the
necessary expertise to make up for the years of
siege that has been imposed against the region since
1990.
On the other hand, a Jordanian delegation is
currently visiting Kurdistan region for holding
discussions on facilitating the operations of land
and air transportation between Jordan and the
region, especially after the Royal Jordanian
Airlines have launched direct flights between Amman
and Arbil, in addition to discussing the
arrangements relating to facilitating the direct
importation and exportation operations between
Jordan and the region.
