We met with the Prime Minister of Iraq, my dear brother, Mr. Ali Zaydi, and his delegation in Ankara today, and we signed documents that will further our relations on the basis of brotherhood. 🇹🇷 🇮🇶 We have not kept Iraq's peace and stability separate from the situation of our country since the past, and we will not. We strive to ensure that our region is no longer associated with war, terrorism and conflict, but with development, prosperity, peace and stability. We are in close dialogue with our Iraqi brothers to make our Terror-Free Turkey process and Terror-Free Zone vision a reality. Hopefully, we will permanently remove this issue, which has caused both countries to pay a heavy price, from our agenda. On the other hand, we are ready to do our part in supplying the defense industry products that Iraq needs. This war environment drives us to deepen our cooperation not only in defense but also in the fields of energy and transportation. We see that the Development Road Project, which is based on connecting the Gulf region to the world through Iraq, has become more important than ever in the face of current developments. Another important topic of our cooperation is energy. Turkish Petroleum was given a partnership in the Kirkuk production field, which is operated by BP. The agreement signed today is a historic step for partnership in the energy field. As two neighboring countries affected by climate change, we have full will to advance our cooperation for the sustainable use of water. We want to take our trade volume with Iraq, which reached 17 billion dollars last year, to much higher levels. I would like to thank Mr. Zeydi for his visit and hope that our consultations and the decisions we make will be beneficial.
