Governor of Iraq's Sulaimaniyah Haval Abu Bakir on July 6 had noted that given the provision of the necessary conditions, including the peace and security on the two sides of the borders of Iran and Kurdistan Region of Iraq, it is expected that investments also increase.
At a joint news conference with the governor of Kurdestan province, Bakir stated that a memorandum of understanding was signed in 13 paragraphs between the two governors, and this time the managers of other organizations, such as agriculture and tourism, also contributed.
The Kurdish official pointed out that “we should build a bridge between the two sides instead of the wall, adding, "Today, comfort, peace and security exist both in Iraqi Kurdistan and in Iran's Kurdestan, and this is the best indicator for boosting investment.”
The governor of Sulaimaniyah noted that in recent years, Iraq's economic relations with Iran have increased.
