Iran, Iraqi Kurdistan officials discuss border trade facilitation at Kermanshah crossing

Iranian and Iraqi Kurdistan officials met at the Sheikh Saleh border crossing in western Kermanshah Province on Monday to discuss ways to organize cross-border trade, facilitate goods entry and explore possible exports of agricultural products, IRNA reported.
The meeting was attended by the governor of Salas-e Babajani county, the special assistant at Iraqi affairs, the director of the Sheikh Saleh border customs and customs officials from Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
Head of the Sheikh Saleh Border Customs Mehdi Ramezani stressed the need to streamline border procedures.
During the meeting, Iraqi officials raised requests regarding passenger procedures and conditions for exporting agricultural products, including fruit and vegetables.
It was agreed that feasibility studies and necessary arrangements would be examined at future technical and executive meetings.
The two sides also emphasized the need to ensure security for economic operators, traders and drivers at the border, and agreed to hold regular joint meetings to follow up on foreign trade issues and strengthen border capacities.
The Sheikh Saleh border market, one of Iran’s official border markets, began operations in 1996. Salas-e Babajani county shares 40 kilometers of border with Iraq, and trade activities are conducted through the Sheikh Saleh customs and border market.
