The minutes of the technical committee of the Iraqi Railways Company, which was entrusted with negotiating with the Spanish firm Imathia for the building of the Basra-Shalamcheh railway line, have been authorized by the Iraqi Cabinet.
The Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement that “the contract will be finalized, considering the Legal Department’s remarks, and the negotiation period was extended by 60 days.”
Last December, Prime Minister al-Sudani met with a group of Spanish companies, including Consultrans, a part of Imathia located in Madrid that specializes in “engineering, architectural, strategic consultancy and information and technology projects for the transport sector.”
