Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) \u2013 Iraq and Iran inked four agreements on Thursday focusing on transportation, rail connection, and municipal support, as well as government administration and human resource training.<\/p>\n
The agreements were signed during meetings in Tehran between Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, with an emphasis on improving regional networks and collaborative work across borders, according to the Prime Minister\u2019s Office (PMO).<\/p>\n
Representatives from the transportation ministries of both countries signed a bilateral agreement designed to establish a structure for the international road transit of goods.<\/p>\n
To improve rail network connectivity, the two sides signed an agreement to extend a railway connecting the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, to the Iranian city of Kermanshah. This railway will traverse the border city of Khosravi in Iran and Iraq\u2019s Khanaqin.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Tehran and Baghdad became sister cities after signing municipal twinning agreements and cooperative public administration training efforts.<\/p>\n
The two countries also inked an agreement on administrative training, education, and human resource development.<\/p>\n
The geopolitical achievement takes place as Iraq promotes an expansive economic strategy. Al-Zaidi\u2019s visit to Tehran comes after a notable trip to the United States, where Iraq inked 48 business agreements worth over $60 billion with US corporations.<\/p>\n
Through these diplomatic moves, Baghdad apparently aims to establish itself as a regional gateway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) \u2013 Iraq and Iran inked four agreements on Thursday focusing on transportation, rail connection, and municipal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[1711,948,63428,34,94,7072,61444,63429,63430,69,1690,1546,298,63431],"class_list":["post-220067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-baghdad","tag-education","tag-human-resource","tag-iran","tag-iraq","tag-kermanshah","tag-khanaqin","tag-khosravi","tag-rail-connection","tag-tehran","tag-the-united-states","tag-training","tag-transportation","tag-us-corporations"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116970510583789774","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
