Hundreds of companies take part in international fair in northern Iraq Kurdish Provinces
ULAIMANIYAH, Iraq: Hundreds of companies from around the world looking for opportunities in Iraq took part Saturday in an international fair in this city in the relatively peaceful Kurdish north. The fair, organized by the Iraqi American chamber of commerce, was inaugurated by Nechirvan Barzani, the prime minister of Kurdistan's regional government. Some 370 companies from around the world including 50 from Germany and 24 from Italy, were taking part in the four-day conference.
Unlike the rest of Iraq, the three Kurdish provinces in the north are safe and tightly controlled by tens of thousands of local peshmerga militiamen. I am very happy that this international fair is being held on the land of Kurdistan," Barzani told The Associated Press after officially opening the fair. "Whoever wants to invest in this region is welcome," Barzani said.
