The US Embassy in Iraq announced details of a 101-member US delegation’s visit to Iraq on Monday.
The embassy said in a statement that “the American Chamber of Commerce, headed by Steve Lutes, led a 101-member delegation of approximately 60 American companies in the energy, technology, and healthcare sectors to Iraq this week.”
She added, “This is the first trade mission approved by the US Department of Commerce to Iraq and the largest US trade mission to Iraq in the Chamber’s history.”
She confirmed that “during its visit, which extends from April 7 to 9, the delegation will meet with high-level Iraqi officials, communicate with Iraqi companies, and sign a number of agreements.”
“We are here to focus on one goal: strengthening commercial partnerships,” said US Chargé d’Affaires in Iraq, Daniel Rubinstein.
According to the embassy’s statement, the American Chamber of Commerce provides a platform for creating and implementing new ideas aimed at establishing partnerships and trade policies that influence the thinking of governments and business leaders in both countries.
She continued, “For more than a decade, the Chamber has regularly visited Iraq and hosted Iraqi government delegations in the United States.”
During this visit, the American Chamber of Commerce will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce to strengthen relations between the American and Iraqi private sectors.
