A large US trade mission arrives in Iraq to sign several agreements
The US Embassy in Baghdad announced the arrival of a large trade delegation from the United States to Iraq.
A statement from the US Embassy, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, stated that “the American Chamber of Commerce, headed by Steve Lutes, is leading a delegation of 101 members from approximately 60 American companies in the energy, technology, and health sectors to Iraq this week. This is the first trade mission approved by the US Department of Commerce to Iraq and the largest US trade mission to Iraq in the Chamber’s history.”
During the visit, which will extend from April 7 to 9, the delegation will meet with high-ranking Iraqi officials, engage with Iraqi companies, and sign several agreements.
Speaking at a reception honoring the trade mission, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires to Iraq Daniel Rubinstein said, “We are here tonight to focus on one goal: strengthening business partnerships.”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce provides a platform for generating and implementing new ideas aimed at creating business partnerships and policies that influence the thinking of governments and business leaders in both countries. For more than a decade, the Chamber has regularly visited Iraq and hosted Iraqi government delegations in the United States.
During this visit, the American Chamber of Commerce will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce to strengthen relations between the American and Iraqi private sectors.
