Iraq and Turkmenistan agreed to supply gas for the needs of the Iraqi electric power industry. This was reported by the Iraqi Oil Ministry, TASS reports.
“The Iraqi government is seeking to expand cooperation in the gas sector with friendly countries, including Turkmenistan,” the ministry said in a statement.
It is noted that the Memorandum of Cooperation will be signed before the end of this year.
Iraq needs gas supplies from Turkmenistan to run its power plants, which are now running on fuel from Iran. This agreement is an important step towards expanding cooperation between Iraq and gas-producing countries.
