Turkish Minister Aims to Start Development Road Project This Year
Turkey hopes to launch the "Development Road" project this year, which connects Iraq's Faw Port to Turkey’s border via a railway line and a highway, with the aim of turning Iraq into a regional hub for cargo transit between the Gulf and Europe. Memoranda of understanding were signed in April 2024 between Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE, involving a funding and implementation mechanism for the project, which is considered a strategic pillar to enhance regional economic integration. Officials from both countries discussed how to finance the project and develop fiber optic networks and digital infrastructure, with implementation expected to begin this year following discussions on timelines and funding mechanisms between the two governments.
