Iraqi Kurdistan a Lucrative Trading Partner for Iran

Iran should use all its resources to get a bigger share of trade in the Iraqi Kurdish region, as it has an important status and can serve as a safe conduit for expansion into neighboring markets, a political analyst said.
“Iraqi Kurdistan is a special and important region, which can be considered a very good trade partner for Iran, given their geopolitical and cultural commonalities,” Siroos Borna, an Iranian expert on Iraqi affairs, told the Iranian Diplomacy website in a recent interview. 
He believes that closer economic relations with Erbil can help increase the country’s overall trade with Iraq.
