The National Investment Commission (NIC) has hosted a high-level meeting with an Omani delegation to discuss the establishment of advanced international data centres and the transit of fibre optic cables in Iraq under an investment model.
The meeting, chaired by NIC Chairman Dr Haider Mohammed Makiyya, was attended by Oman's Ambassador to Iraq, Mahmoud bin Mahna al-Kharousi, officials from the Omani Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and a delegation of investors and experts.
Dr Makiya welcomed the delegation, highlighting the importance of strengthening Omani investment in Iraq's digital economy. The project is expected to enhance internet services, provide state-of-the-art digital infrastructure, and support e-government initiatives across state institutions.
He added that the initiative would have a wide-ranging impact on Iraq's economic, educational, and healthcare sectors, while boosting revenues by leveraging the country's strategic geographic location.
Both sides agreed to hold regular follow-up meetings to review technical models and expand cooperation, with the Omani delegation confirming full support for the project, including the possibility of financing.
