“The stability of the broader Mediterranean must necessarily include an Iraq that is fully reconstructed”. The comment was made by Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi, on opening the 3rd Italian-Iraqi Mixed Commission at the Farnesina. The meeting is co-chaired by his Iraqi colleague, Hoshyar Zebari.
Modernisation and diversification for the Iraqi economy
Terzi underscored to representatives of the two countries’ institutions, and the Italian business people present, that Italy’s economic community is “at the service of the modernisation and diversification processes under way in the Iraqi economy”. Iraq has enormous underground riches and ENI, which is already operating there, “can pave the way for other companies”. Companies from the defence, infrastructure, engineering and construction sectors, explained Terzi, who announced that a number of agreements will be signed today with Iraq.
