Institute for training negotiators

Saturday 03 August 112

 

Yasser Al Metwally 

 

In which I promised to refer to the fixed standards that the Iraqi negotiator should have according to international standards. It has become necessary for the government to take another important step, as its initiative to offer the Convention for the establishment of a free zone between Iraq and sister Kuwait to transparently satisfy the discussion by civil society organizations with economic and economic, financial and business experts - worthy of attention and develop new trends to involve the community in every Important decisions. The second step required is that the government set standards in the selection or naming of negotiators apply to all ministries and state bodies .. How?

First: The decision-maker is often the minister concerned. Even if he does not go to negotiate, the criteria set by the government must be applied to those he chooses to negotiate.

 Second: Preparing the negotiating documents because the negotiators must be competent and provide the negotiator with correct inputs and information, although the negotiator is skilled.

Third: The support team for the negotiator, no matter how skilled the negotiator is, he needs three advisers, a legal adviser, a technical advisor and a financial advisor. There is no negotiation but it has legal, technical and financial implications for the state. These advisors have no right to interfere in the negotiations. They provide him with the necessary advice.

Now, for the purpose of applying these criteria to each negotiating team, the government should launch a supervisory training program for the negotiating teams through a training office to be affiliated with the Council of Ministers. The task of this office is to train any negotiator to be named even if he is trained to familiarize him with the latest international negotiation standards. Negotiation is not a science but art and negotiation art changes according to developments and global changes. And here we propose the adoption of international experts specialized in the art of negotiation for accreditation in the Institute and can benefit from the training and preparation of good trainers in the event of the expiration of contracts in the future, thus creating a culture of art of negotiation, which is lacking as I mentioned in my previous article. In conclusion, he called for an international expert to read that there are training programs for leaders in Europe and at the level of heads of government, two hours to learn about the latest standards and requirements of negotiations to ensure that they do not fall into the trap of unforeseen mistakes.

Iraq experts fear free economic zone with Kuwait

Iraqi's come together to protest calling for better public services in Basra, Iraq

 

        August 10, 2019 at 10:11 am

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190810-iraq-experts-fear-free-economic-zone-with-kuwait/

The economic agreements signed between Kuwait and Iraq have recently raised concerns among Iraqi experts, who warned against “political courtesy” at the expense of the country’s interests in relation to the proposed free trade zone on the border between the Iraqi city of Basra and Kuwait.

A member of the Council of Basra, Mohamed Al-Fatlawi, expressed reservations about the idea of establishing a free trade zone between Iraq and Kuwait, insisting his opposition stemmed “from the simple reason that it will negatively affect the Iraqi Port of Al-Faw, which is being constructed on the waters of the Arabian Gulf”.

He explained that “the goods imported by Iraq from Kuwait are two hundred times more than those exported by Iraq to Kuwait”.

“The presence of a free economic zone means that the port is no longer useful,” Al-Fatlawi lamented, adding that: “The ships come to Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port in Kuwait and are unloaded there, but arrive at the free zone without paying any fees. So, it will be cheaper than coming through Al-Faw Port where tariffs are imposed.”

Jamal Al-Mohammadawi, a member of the Oil and Energy Committee, also said that the free zone could have a negative impact on the Port of Al-Faw. “We will recommend that the government take this issue into account, so that there won’t be any agreements at the expense of trade and import from Iraqi ports,” the New Arab reported Al-Mohammadawi as saying yesterday.

The committee member added: “This year an amount of $400 million has been allocated from the budget to complete the Port of Al-Faw, and if the issue of the free zone is not dealt with, the ships and boats will come to the Kuwaiti port of Mubarak and take the corridor through Kuwait to the market or free zone directly, without the need to complete their way and reach the Iraqi Port of Al-Faw.”
