(MENAFN) On Wednesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani expressed a willingness to find a solution to resume oil exports to Turkey.
A meeting in Baghdad between Sudani and Turkey's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar focused on strengthening energy relations, according to a statement from the Iraqi Prime Minister's Press Office.
Sudani addressed the issue of water sharing between Iraq and Turkey, emphasizing the importance of increased cooperation.
Referring to the "strategic project" known as the Development Road Project, Sudani expressed that the project would significantly contribute to the development of the economies of both countries.
Sudani acknowledged the consensus between Ankara and Baghdad on Gaza and appreciated Turkey's open and transparent stance against Israeli attacks on Gaza.
Bayraktar highlighted Turkey's willingness to enhance cooperation with Iraq in various fields, emphasizing Iraq's importance not only for Turkey but as a significant country, particularly in the energy sector, for all of Europe.
