Iran must become Iraq’s first trade partner: ambassador

QOM, June 29 (MNA) – The new Iranian ambassador to Iraq reiterated on increasing economic ties with Baghdad, saying Iran must become Iraq’s first trade partner.

“The issue of Iraq, especially its economic matters, has been tied to the history of Iran. Iraq as a neighboring country in western borders is economically an especial issue,” Hassan Danaei-Far said in the city of Qom on Monday.

He said Iran’s exports to Iraq should increase to $10 billion dollars annually.

“A the moment, Iraq is Iran’s first trade partner and Iran must become Iraq’s first trade partner through effective economic and trade relations in a near future,” Danaei-Far explained.

According to statistics, Iran’s exports to Iraq are increasing, however, Iran has the potential to export more goods to Iraq, the new ambassador noted.
