Minister: Iran, Iraq agree to establish joint fund

Tehran, Jan 13, IRNA - Iran’s Minister of Energy Reza Ardakanian said on Wednesday that Iran's proposal to establish a joint venture fund with Iraq was approved by the Iraqi Minister of Trade Alaa Ahmed al-Jubouri.

Ardakanian made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the 4th Iran-Iraq Economic Cooperation Summit on Wednesday.

He said that the formation of a joint venture fund between Iran and Iraq is very suitable for supporting the private sectors of the two countries.

The principle of economic cooperation between countries, especially Iran and Iraq, depends on the mobility and development of private sector activities, he added.
