Negotiations are underway to reactivate the strategic "Kirkuk-Baniyas" oil pipeline.

Iraqi Trade Minister Atheer Al-Ghurairy revealed strenuous efforts to develop economic cooperation with Syria, particularly in the field of oil.

Al-Ghurairy confirmed that during a meeting he held with the Syrian Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources Firas Hassan Kaddour, views were exchanged on launching investments in the oil and energy fields in both countries by providing facilities for Iraqi companies wishing to invest in the oil field in Syria. Which, in turn, will ensure the re-operation of the "Kirkuk-Baniyas" oil pipeline, which connects Iraqi oil wells with Syrian ports.

Thus, Syria will get rid of its oil crisis and Iraq will save a long way for transportation, as the Kirkuk region contains 12% of the total Iraqi reserves, and it is possible to benefit from the Syrian oil refineries as an alternative to refining in distant countries.

"We would not have protected the country had it not been for the blood of the martyrs and their families
We have learned from them and we are still learning the meanings of heroism, sacrifice and steadfastness
We derive strength and power from them... With their greatness and patriotism, the homeland has withstood."
