A press spokesman at the Ministry of Trade explained in a statement to Al Sabah that the Minister of Trade, Dr. Abudul Falah AL Soudani, and the American Minister for Foreign Trade, visiting Iraq this week, signed the agreement. Al Soudani said during the signing ceremony that the agreement will largely contribute to developing the Iraqi economy through American expertise in the field of a free and open economy and by sharing with Iraq information on international experiments, which will help Iraq build its infrastructure destroyed in the war or due to a lack of programmed scientific planning. He added that the agreement will strengthen Iraq's economy by encouraging imports and exports to US markets and through the importation of new technology into Iraq. He referred to remarks made by the US Minister indicating that the agreement affirmed the US's willingness to support Iraq's economic rehabilitation so as to ready it to enter a free-market economy. Specifically, the US would assist Iraq in obtaining permanent membership in the World Trade Organization as well as other economic organizations. This agreement he said will mark the return of Iraq's economy to the world stage, adding that Iraq's economic variables in manpower and raw materials are far stronger than in most countries throughout the world.
