Iraq prepares to implement the first historic transfer operation through the international (TIR) system
The International Road Transport Union (IRU) announced Iraq's readiness to implement the first historic transport operation via the international road transport (TIR) system, in a historic step towards enhancing cross-border trade.
During a visit last week, the Union confirmed that Iraq is close to achieving a major achievement in international trade, as it will soon witness the first transport operation under the umbrella of the internationally recognized system for customs transit, noting that this step reflects Iraq's commitment to modernizing the trade sector and adopting international practices.
A specialized workshop was also organized, focusing on the importance of the United Nations international agreements, such as the TIR Convention and the Dangerous Goods Convention, highlighting the role of these agreements in simplifying trade, enhancing security and reducing accidents.
The Federation stressed the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors to ensure smooth implementation of the two mentioned systems, which contributes to enhancing Iraq's position in regional and international trade.
In conclusion, the Federation stressed that this step represents a new beginning for Iraq in the field of transportation and international trade, with the adoption of the best international practices to enhance efficiency and economic growth. link
