“The Iraqi Ministry of Finance is keen to develop economic and financial cooperation with Japan,” a ministry statement received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency quoted Finance Minister Baqir al-Zubeidi as saying.
This came during his meeting with the Japanese ambassador to Iraq, Shoji Ogawa.
Last week, the director of the legal affairs department in the Oil Ministry, Sabah al-Saedi, said that a contract would soon be signed with a Japanese consortium comprising Nippon Oil and Inpex to develop the field. (Source)AlAswatIraq
