Shafaq News/ An informed government source revealed, on Sunday, that Iraq will soon open a border crossing on the Gulf countries, which is the most important after 2003.
The source told Shafaq News Agency, “Iraq has reached advanced stages in the process of agreeing to open the (Awja Al-Batin) port in the border triangle that connects Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in the desert of Muthanna Governorate within the borders of Busayyah district.”
And he indicated that “the administration of the port will be national, away from the authority of local governments, and it will serve the governorates of Dhi Qar, Muthanna, and Basra,” noting that “the main route of the port will be through the city of Nasiriyah, being the closest to it in terms of the land road.”
