Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi hailed Iraq and Türkiye's agreement regarding oil exports through the Turkish Ceyhan Port as an important strategic milestone to ensure the uninterrupted flow of our oil exports and strengthen economic cooperation.

Iraq and Türkiye have signed a one-year agreement to transport and export Iraqi crude oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan, marking a significant step towards strengthening energy cooperation between the two countries.

PM al-Zaidi said in a post on X platform: "Today, Iraq and Türkiye achieved an important strategic milestone to ensure the uninterrupted flow of our oil exports and strengthen economic cooperation. The two sides signed an agreement on the transportation and loading of Iraqi crude oil through the Iraq–Türkiye Pipeline to the Port of Ceyhan, with a minimum export capacity of 750,000 barrels per day."

"Iraqi and Turkish companies will begin implementing the agreement, while the two governments will move forward, through a carefully planned process, to finalize a comprehensive framework agreement covering the oil, electricity, and water resources sectors, along with other areas of cooperation that advance our shared interests and support development and stability," he added.
