Iraq's Minister of Industry and Minerals, Dr. Khaled Battal Al-Najm, supervised final preparations for the Basra steel plant, expected to begin operations by the end of this year.

During his on-site visit, the minister oversaw the plant's final cold start-up phases, which utilize advanced technology from Italy's Danieli Group for steel and sponge iron production.

Al-Najm also toured the rolling mill facility, emphasizing the ministry's commitment to revitalizing Iraq's strategic industries and meeting the local demand for reinforced steel.
