France is not a heavy weight in Iraq market
Chairman of the Iran-Iraq Joint Chamber of Commerce says Iran, China, Turkey, and some Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Oman are the major exporters to Iraq and other countries have no significant presence in this country’s market and only some projects are handed over to other countries.
Speaking to ILNA on the launch of the campaign for boycotting the purchase of French goods in Iraq, Yahya Al-e Eshaq said only some countries like Iran, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Oman are the major exporters to Iraq and other countries have no significant presence there and just sometimes some projects are handed over to other countries.
He added that currently there are no major projects in Iraq unless during the recent visit of Iraq prime minister to France and Germany some contracts have been signed, and currently the French are not in charge of any important project in Iraq.
Touching upon the gas sector, he said Iraq has its major gas imports from Iran and other issues are in the preliminary stage, and recent claims and launching campaigns are more psychologically important.
