Iraqi Business Delegation Visits Ilam Province

A 21-strong Iraqi business delegation from Diyala Governorate arrived in Iran’s Ilam Province on Sunday for a two-day stay, according to the chairman of Ilam’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
“The visiting mission was made up of the head and members of the board of directors of Diyala Chamber of Commerce, industrialists and businesspeople from the central-eastern Iraqi province who met with their Iranian counterparts as well as public sector officials,” Shaban Foroutan was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Foroutan added that the main objective pursued by the two sides was to survey ways of expanding economic and trade cooperation in the new market of North Helaleh located at the border between Ilam and Diyala provinces.
“Ilam has great potentials and capabilities in industrial, commercial and business fields. Last year [March 2021-22,] a total of $1.16 billion worth of commodities were exported from the province to Iraqi cities,” he said.
