Iran, Iraq discuss cooperation over border checkpoints

Iraqi Planning and Trade Minister Salman Jumaili discussed on Sunday with Iranian Industry and Trade Minister Mohammad Nematzadeh developing trade exchange and regulating work via border checkpoints.

The two sides discussed operating border crossings round the clock to guarantee that no commodities are being damaged or delivered behind schedule.

The Iraqi minister said his country has taken a group of measures to facilitate the entry of Iranian companies into the Iraqi market and has begun steps to pay the dues of Iranian contractors who set up investment projects in Iraq over the past two years.
