Egypt's Second Trade Delegation Within One Week to Visit Baghdad

Egypt will send another business delegation Tuesday to Baghdad in a bid to expand trade and economic ties, Egypt's state-run MENA news agency reported on Monday.

The visit comes at a time when Egyptian Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade Youssef Boutros Ghali, heading a 180-member delegation, arrived in Baghdad on Sunday to activate the free trade agreement signed between the two countries during Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan's visit to Cairo in January.

The second delegation, grouping members of the Egyptian International Investment Group, will meet with Iraqi officials to discuss issues on signing trade deals and developing infrastructure projects in Iraq.

It will also explore ways of providing the sanction-stricken Iraqi people with Egyptian products, including foodstuffs, medicine and school stationery, MENA said.

Cairo and Baghdad, which cut off ties in 1991 when Egypt joined the international coalition force to evict Iraqi troops out of Kuwait, restored diplomatic relations in November at the level of charge d'affaires.
