Baghdad, Dec 13: Iran's Ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi Qomi said that Tehran and Baghdad have signed 48 documents for expansion of bilateral co-operation.
Speaking to Irna in an exclusive interview, Kazemi Qomi assessed as "positive" the recent visit by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani to Tehran. "Iran and Iraq have inked documents to step up relations in the economic, political, cultural, scientific and defense fields," he said.
"In the economic field, the sides have signed agreements for co-operation in the fields of oil, electricity, transportation, road-building and transit of goods" he added.
"Iran exports some 140 MW electricity to Iraq via a pipeline from Iranian town of Sar-e Pol-e Zahab to Iraqi city of Baqouba."
The Ambassador noted that Talabani's recent visit to Iran took place to materialise the agreements, saying the Iraqi delegation which accompanied the President paved the way for implementation of the accords previously signed between Tehran and Baghdad in its meetings with Iranian officials.
