US OFFICIAL: WE HAVE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES IN IRAQ
The Vice President of the US Chamber of Commerce, Steve Lutes, announced that “his country’s companies in the energy and healthcare sectors will visit Baghdad in the coming period,” stressing that “there are tremendous opportunities in Iraq.”
A US delegation arrived in Iraq last Monday, the largest US trade mission ever, comprising representatives from 60 companies across various sectors.
In a statement seen by Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday, Lutz said, “The American delegation listened to a speech by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani regarding relations between Iraq and the United States and ways to develop them.”
He added, “The US economic delegation signed several important agreements with Iraq, some of which were attended by the Iraqi Prime Minister, and this was in coordination with the US Treasury Department.”
Lutz noted that “this visit will be a new spark for developing relations between American economic and business companies and Iraq, especially given the many investment opportunities we seek to capitalize on in light of the long-term partnership with our Iraqi partners.”
