Wasit, Dec.21 (AKnews) - The chairman of Wasit Chamber of Commerce said on Monday evening that the French government has expressed a desire to promote commercial cooperation with Iraq and is seeking investment opportunities in a variety of economic sectors including tourism.

Mouhammed Dia Houssein Umran told AKnews that he had met with the French Consul in Nasiriya who was sufficiently clear about the conditions in Iraq, saying that political and security stability were the key considerations behind France’s interest.

“The two sides agreed on exchanging visits as well as a visit of a delegation of leading French businessmen to Wasit province in the coming period to gather information about investment opportunities,” he said.

Wasit Commerce chamber was founded in 1968 and is today composed of more than 2000 businesses in a wide variety of economic sectors.
