The Iraqi and Turkish Ministers of Trade discussed economic, trade and logistical relations between the two countries.

Turkish Trade Minister Mehmet Muş said in a tweet on Twitter, "We met with Iraqi Trade Minister Alaa Ahmed Hassan Obaid to discuss economic and trade relations between Turkey and Iraq."

"We discussed our bilateral trade relations, the contracting sector, and logistical issues," Muhammed Mush added.

Last August, the Ministry of Commerce announced its agreement with its Turkish counterpart to form joint committees to develop economic relations between the two countries.

This came during a visit by the Turkish Minister of Trade, Mehmet Muş, to Baghdad and his meeting with his Iraqi counterpart, Alaa Al-Jubouri, at the ministry's headquarters in the Iraqi capital.

The two neighboring countries, Iraq and Turkey, have close relations on various levels, especially trade and economics.

The volume of trade exchange between Iraq and Turkey is $17 billion, and the two countries aspire to raise it to more than $20 billion during the coming period.

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi visited Ankara last December, during which he met with Turkish leaders, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

During the visit, the two countries agreed to strengthen relations between the two countries at various levels, especially trade, economy and investment.
