Erbil-Hewler, Kurdistan region 'Iraq', --
Iran will open two consulates in Iraq's Kurdistan
Autonomous Region after talks held by officials from
the province in Tehran, a Kurdish government
spokesman said on Wednesday.
'The decision by Iran to open consulates in the
province comes after talks held by a Kurdish
government
delegation with
Iranian officials,' Jamal Abdallah, the spokesman
for the Kurdish Autonomous Region said.
The consulates will be opened in Erbil and
Sulaimaniyah to facilitate trade ties and relations
between Iran and the Kurdish region, Abdallah said.
An official Kurdish delegation was in Tehran on
Thursday to seek a reopening of Iran's border with
the Kurdish Autonomous Region.
Iran
closed its
border with northern Iraq after US troops arrested
an Iranian who was part of a trade delegation that
was visiting the province. But border crossings have
been
reopened on Monday.
