A senior Spanish official has said that Spain is cooperating with Iraq to extend the railway from Basra to Egypt's Sharm El-Sheikh.
State-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) quotes Alicia Rocío Varela Donoso, Director General of International Trade and Investment for Spain, as saying:
"There are very good companies in the field of railways, and we are cooperating with Iraq to extend the railway from Basra to Sharm El-Sheikh ... we have a company working on connecting the railway between Najaf and Karbala, and we also have a company working in China that will carry out railway projects in other areas of Iraq in the near future."
She explained that "some of these projects are proposals, and there are signed agreements and cooperation in other areas, including facilitating transportation operations within Iraqi cities and facilitating the traffic situation in a good way so that it runs very smoothly."
She also confirmed Spain's strong support for Iraq's return to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
