Iraq is a market of growing strategic interest in the Middle East, given its energy resources, infrastructure modernization needs and commitment to economic diversification and private sector development. The country's reconstruction and transformation projects offer opportunities for business cooperation in sectors such as energy, transport, infrastructure, water management, industry and agriculture, in which Spanish companies have extensive international experience. This meeting provides an opportunity to strengthen bilateral economic and trade relations, identify business opportunities and foster collaboration between companies and institutions from both countries.
