SHAFAQNA- Iraq’s Prime Minister appealed to visiting Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni on Friday (23 Dec 2022) for closer economic relations with his country suffering from decaying infrastructure.
Meloni, who leads the eurozone’s third-largest economy, is on her first bilateral trip outside Europe. She is on a pre-Christmas visit to Italian troops posted in Iraq.
“We expressed our disposition to develop economic cooperation in all fields, especially agriculture, water and health,” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said at a joint press conference. He invited to Iraq “companies specialised in infrastructure but also in the exploitation of gas.”
