Iraqi Transport Minister Explains Sign Refusal in Turkey
Iraq and Turkey have signed the "Development Road" strategic project, aimed at creating a transportation corridor connecting the Basra Port in Iraq with the Turkish border and extending to the European road network. The corridor spans approximately 1,200 kilometers and includes railway lines and highways. The signing process was delayed due to protocol issues and parliamentary objections from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. The memorandum was unexpectedly added to the signing agenda during the Iraqi Prime Minister's visit to Ankara, despite Iraqi officials preferring to present it to Parliament before signing. The project is part of Iraq’s efforts to strengthen its role as a commercial hub between the Gulf and Europe. International agreements are being negotiated regarding its funding and implementation, marking an important step toward transforming Iraq into a regional trade transit center.
