Iraq and Turkey have concluded a strategic agreement to utilize the oil pipeline extending to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, marking a significant step to enhance bilateral cooperation and facilitate the transport and export of crude oil. The agreement aims to sustain exports with a massive initial capacity, linking the achievement of these rates to improved security conditions and the return of foreign companies to resume production operations in the northern regions. This step is considered a prelude to a more comprehensive agreement aimed at significantly increasing export capacity following the completion of strategic projects to develop the national pipeline network and connect it to global export outlets.
