The first is that Iraq's strategy is to multiply the ports of export of Iraqi oil and not to rely solely on the Gulf. On the other hand, opening this line is an Iraqi right and should be activated and used if the political will of the parties . But the sea of ​​science: Yes, during the last period, political pressure on Saudi Arabia and we see now the atmosphere is positive and must be invested by Iraq, and it has to deepen the relationship with neighboring countries through the use of oil as a positive individual in the overall common interests and one of the most important of these words is the carrier line For crude oil through Saudi Arabia ?, so we hope that this subject is subject to discussion and discuss with the Saudi and Iraqi sides and we hope that there will be a Saudi response to the Iraqi request.
