“The target of 20-billion-dollar trade between Iran and Iraq is not very far-fetched. Developing financial and monetary ties between the two countries will play a good role in reaching this goal,” said CBI Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati in his Instagram on Monday.
Tehran and Baghdad are eager to hit the trade volume of $20bn by 2020.
Hemmati made the remark after meeting Iraqi Finance Minister Fuad Hussein in Tehran on Monday.
A high-level Iraqi delegation, headed by Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi is in Iran to negotiate further development of ties between the two neighbors.
