The Kingdom of Oman is willing to establish trade and economic ties with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and for this purpose there are two arrangements to be carried out soon.

Head of the Omani investment board in Muscat visited the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) representation in Dubai and demanded clarification about establishing ties with Kurdistan, said Shilan Khanaqa, KRG representative to Dubai.

Khanaqa added in the meeting it was decided that a delegation of 30 Omani companies, experienced in aviation, general contracting and investment fields, visit Kurdistan in December to confer with Kurdish businessmen and exchange views on investment.

It was also decided that in 2013 the Omani companies hold an exclusive exhibition in the Kurdistan Region's capital, Erbil.

Khanaqa added "as the Kurdish side, we appreciate this initiative of the Kingdom [of Oman] and deem it's important to launch Erbil- Muscat direct flights."
