[Asia Times] Turkey seeks tie-up with Iraq
23 September 2009 / ,
Turkey and Iraq held the first ministerial meeting of the High Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC) in İstanbul on September 17-18.
To give substance to the HLSCC, eight Turkish and 10 Iraqi ministers with responsibility for various portfolios gathered at a joint cabinet meeting. The ministers then held face-to-face meetings with their counterparts to elaborate joint projects in their respective fields. The parties agreed to sign agreements or memorandums of understanding in over 40 areas. The detailed technical work on these projects will continue before final approval at the Turkish-Iraqi inter-governmental meeting during Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Baghdad in October. The Turkish and Iraqi delegations agreed to cooperate on a wide range of issues, ranging from environmental cooperation to energy partnership.
