Kurdistan Region delegation to visit Western Azarbaijan

General Manager of Kurdistan Region Affairs with Iran Abdullah Akrayee said that a trade conference will also be held in line with the visit to the region with participation of the chambers of commerce from Azarbaijan and Erbil.

Following a visit by the region's Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani to Iran, and given the prime role of the country in Iraq, the region has become more interested in expanding economic ties with Iran.

Erbil and Tehran will be witnessing a new phase of economic relations in near future, Akrayee told Iraqi media.

According to IRNA the two sides will also open a series of serious talks in forms of economic delegations.

Officials of the Kurdistan region have recently called for more mutual relations with Iran, particularly in economy and trade.
