Basmaya Gate Investment!

Saturday 13 April 2019 62

 

Yasser Al-Metwally

 

Now the real investment has begun after the announcement of the establishment of a large sports stadium with Saudi investment after the visit of a high-level economic and trade delegation to Iraq last week.

If it is written for this vital project to actually see the light, "it would be the correct and successful start to lay the foundation for a modern city outside the walls of the capital Baghdad to absorb the pressure of population and the environment, and this opinion matured in the proposal of the first site of the stadium in the area of Basmaya.

However, my analytical vision is based on the developmental impact that Basmaya Stadium will produce in creating basic needs for the development of the city, from its privileges first, "its strategic position on the international highway that links southern and central Iraq.

The second quarter was completed and inhabited by several families after it provided a suitable housing for many citizens and saved them from the housing crisis suffocating inside the capital.

This is the title I wrote five years ago and in this same angle with the beginnings of laying the foundation of its huge residential project then it was called in a column in a later column and a story, and I had proposed to introduce administrative units at the level of a comptroller

 And accessories.

Another proposal was the announcement of a subsequent investment opportunity for the establishment of the Iraq International Fair, which would reduce or rid Baghdad of the momentum of the roads and their entrances at the opening of the Baghdad International Fair annually, and most importantly transfer its management to the private sector to the Ministry of planning and control and reform of trade policy.

The other developmental effect is the establishment of the large industrial city in Basmaya, which contributes to the liberation of the capital from the scum, which distorted its basic design, and this industrial city, if completed, will return to Baghdad and throw it back.

From this we said that Basmaya is the ideal investment gateway because it will relieve the capital of Baghdad, the population and environmental pressures and be a shadow province of Baghdad, because the plans indicate the establishment of a new university in addition to the opening of large investment on the region .. Will be re-proposed to establish the Saudi stadium in Basmaya dream? We watch to see.

Iraqi PM Abdul-Mahdi heads to Saudi Arabia with key ministers

By Rudaw 2 hours ago

Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi holds a weekly cabinet meeting in Baghdad on April 16, 2019, ahead of his press conference and trip to Saudi Arabia. 

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi is leading a high-level delegation with his ministers for foreign affairs, trade, oil and electricity to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday when he is expected to meet with King Salman bin Abdul Aziz. Earlier this month, the premier visited eastern neighbor Iran, as Baghdad wants to play a mediating role in the region.

 

“We are starting with social, economic, cultural, financial issues. And maybe this will lead us to some political roles played by Iraq between different countries, with Iran, with other countries — maybe with Turkey also. Iraq wants to play such a role, and I think the others might wait for a role being played by Iraq,” the Iraqi PM Abdul-Mahdi told reporters during his weekly press conference in Baghdad on Tuesday.

"The head of the Council of Ministers Mr. Adil Abdul Mahdi heads to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the head of a large delegation of ministers, MPs, and businessmen," tweeted the Iraqi PM's office on Wednesday.

 

He claims that his government has adopted “a certain” strategy to initially focus on issues which can be resolved in the economic sector, and then Baghdad can shift to political and harder issues.

 

This is Abdul-Mahdi's first trip to Riyadh as prime minister. He incorrectly announced that his first foreign trip abroad would be to Saudi Arabia in March; however, he first went to Egypt. 

 

He met in Iran with President Hassan Rouhani and Ayatollah Khamenei on April 4-5. Khamenei accused Riyadh of backing the Islamic State (ISIS) – a Sunni extremist group – against the Shiite-dominated government. 

“Tomorrow will be the start of our visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a very important delegation,” Abdul-Mahdi told reporters, adding that signing a number of memorandums of understanding and discussing projects are on the agenda.

The visit is to display “Iraq’s way of working” with its regional neighbors, he explained. “Iraq wants to be a meeting point for everyone.”

Following last month’s Arab League Summit in Tunisia, war-torn Iraq is seeking to re-establish itself as a contributing member. Iraq is the fourth-largest oil producer in the worldand second-largest behind Saudi Arabia in OPEC.

“We are witnessing a big transformation. Relations with the Kingdom are in their best conditions. I expect the visit tomorrow to be perfect,” added the PM, speaking of Saudi Arabia that forms the backbone of the Arab League.

The Arar border crossing with Saudi Arabia is “close to usage” and agreements need to be implemented between both two sides.

Iraq has been a regional battleground where conflicts have been fought for decades. Since 2003, the country has been increasingly influenced by Iran, mainly due to the rise of pro-Iran Shiite political parties and the overthrow of the Baath regime of Saddam Hussein.

Relations had broken down between the former Iraqi regime and Saudi Arabia after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1991. The relations, however, are slowly being rebuilt.

Cash-strapped Iraq needs assistance from oil-rich Arab states in the Persian Gulf to rebuild the country following a nearly four-year conflict with the Islamic State (ISIS). Its backers in Iran are already suffering from the harsh US sanctions and are unable to provide the breadth of assistance Arab states and Turkey can. 

Abdul-Mahdi was asked what percentage of the Iraqi economy is influenced by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

He replied: “20 percent, 10 percent, 5 percent or any other percentage. I don’t know how this ratio was measured frankly. We have relations with the Iranian state. Trade exchange is a very advanced exchange. However, [as for relations] with the Revolutionary Guard, this is something different.”

Iraq Baghdad Tehran Iran Saudi Arabia Riyadh 

A+AA-

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraq is aiming to be a political mediator between neighboring countries to ease current tensions, according to Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi who is currently on an official visit to Saudi Arabia.

“We will go to Saudi Arabia tomorrow with a large number of businessmen,” Abdul-Mahdi said on Tuesday, noting “we are facing a major shift in our relations with Saudi Arabia.”

Diplomatic ties between the two countries broke down in 1990 following Baghdad’s brazen invasion of Kuwait. They did not fully recover even after the fall of the former Saddam Hussein-led regime. Meanwhile, Iranian presence and influence grew everpresent with its allies in positions of power in the Iraqi Shia-majority government.

In 2015, however, Saudi Arabia officially resumed formal ties with Iraq as Riyadh reopened its embassy in Baghdad after 25 years. In June 2017, the two sides agreed to set up a joint-coordination council in efforts to further cement ties.

The council facilitates economic ties, with the two sides signing multiple memorandums of understanding and preparing work for the reopening of long-barred trade routes.

In early April, the Saudi Kingdom promised a 1 billion dollar loan for the reconstruction of Iraqi areas destroyed during the war with the Islamic State. It also offered as a “gift” to build a major sports stadium in Baghdad.

The Iraqi government also has strong economic and political ties with Iran. On April 06, Abdul-Mahdi visited the eastern neighbor, the president of which called for the expansion of the bilateral yearly trade volume from 12 to 20 billion dollars.

Despite militarily defeating the Islamic State in 2017, stability in Iraq and the wider region remains fragile. The costs of reconstruction and strong demands by the people—notably by protesters in southern Iraq—to address the lack of public services, unemployment, and corruption have put pressure on Baghdad to focus on economic development. 

Indeed, despite its close ties with Iran, US sanctions on the Islamic Republic have pushed Iraq to look to other neighboring countries for trade and to boost its economy. According to Abdul-Mahdi, the strengthening of economic relations with Saudi Arabia is part of a purported “strategy,” starting with “what is possible,” that would then possibly allow for a shift toward diplomatic mediation between Tehran and Riyadh. 

As the PM explained, Iraq is “concentrating on economic issues,” which, if strong, he claimed, could “lead to us some political roles played by Iraq between different countries.”

“Iraq wants to play such a role” and neighbors “might wait” for Baghdad to take on this task, Abdul-Mahdi concluded.
