    Iraq is heading towards reviving an ambitious strategic project that is more than 100 years old, linking the city of Basra in the south, with Europe, passing through Turkey, through a railway line and paved roads, that would turn Mesopotamia into a commercial crossing point similar to the New Silk Road.

    What is the Iraqi [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/46579/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B1/ar/]Silk Road[/url] that will connect Asia to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]?
    This promising plan was officially announced by the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani, during an international conference held in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], on May 27, 2023, and called it the "Development Path". The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] conference brought together transportation officials in 10 countries neighboring [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], namely: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait, the Emirates, Syria, Jordan and Bahrain.



    The "Iraqi [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/46579/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B1/ar/]Silk Road[/url]" project is linked to the completion of the construction of the large port of Faw, in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Governorate, overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Its construction began more than a decade ago, and its completion rate has reached 50%, at a cost of $2.6 billion. It is expected to start operating partially in The year 2025.

    The railway extends from the large port of Faw in the south to the Iraqi-Turkish border in the north, at a length of 1,200 km, and costs a huge budget estimated at about $17 billion, and aims to transport 400,000 containers of goods in its second phase.

    The process of completing the "[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2642643810/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]Development Road[/url]" was divided into three stages: the first will end in 2028, the second in 2033, and the third in 2050. The

    Iraqi government plans to acquire high-speed trains of up to 300 km per hour for passenger trains, but it will drop to 140 km per hour. For the transportation of goods.

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is trying to revive an old project
    A report by [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/1482631750/%D9%88%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A9 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B6%D9%88%D9%84/ar/]Anadolu Agency[/url] says that the idea of ​​this project is old and dates back to an agreement between the [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2263858883/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%AB%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A %D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%AF %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A/ar/]Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II[/url] (1842-1918) and the German Emperor Wilhelm II (1859-1941) to complete the Berlin --[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] --[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] railway project.

    According to an article by the Iraqi historian [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/824474975/%D8%A5%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%8A%D9%85 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%81/ar/]Ibrahim Al-Allaf[/url], in 1899 Germany was able to obtain a concession from the [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2263858883/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%AB%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A %D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%AF %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A/ar/]Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II[/url], according to which they could extend the Anatolian railway line from Istanbul to the city of Mosul (in northern [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) and from there to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], as it was also decided that This line ends in Kuwait.

    Al-Allaf indicates that the railway line reached the city of Samarra (south of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]), but work on it stopped in 1914, due to the outbreak of World War I (1914-1918).

    From transporting oil and gas to transporting pilgrims
    The completion of the "development path" would achieve several goals, whether for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] or the countries of the Middle East, and even the countries of Asia and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

    The project is expected to modernize the dilapidated railway transport network in the country, which is 2,893 km long, including the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] --[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] line, which is 600 km long, and whose train speed does not exceed 70 km per hour.

    It is planned to contribute to the development of the urban and industrial fabric by building new cities, whether residential or industrial, that would relieve pressure on major cities such as [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and also help develop the agricultural and tourism sectors.

    The advantages of the "[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2642643810/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]development road[/url]" do not stop there, but can contribute to the transfer of pilgrims from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to the Holy Bekaa, similar to the Hejaz Railway, which was ordered to be completed by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and which linked Damascus and Medina through Jordan.

    Transporting pilgrims from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] by rail will be less expensive than traveling by plane, although it takes longer and is less secure.

    A direct line between the Gulf countries and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and a
    political alternative to the Suez Canal, linking the "[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2642643810/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]development road[/url]" between the south and the north of the country. This will enhance the communication of Iraqis among themselves, regardless of their ethnicities and sects. This will strengthen the country's unity and national cohesion, and break the isolation of some remote areas far from the capital.

    And if this road is linked by a railway line with the Gulf countries, it will develop merchandise trade between [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and the Gulf countries. Because it will save time and money and make it more profitable, and it will also provide revenues in hard currency for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] as transit fees.

    Although the Chinese [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/46579/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B1/ar/]Silk Road[/url] does not pass through [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] directly, the "road of development" will be one of the alternative options for it in cases of conflicts and wars. Also, the Iraqi [url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2642643810/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]development road[/url] will shorten the distance between China and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], compared to the sea route through the Suez Canal, thus saving time and money.

    After the completion of the large port of Faw and the railway line, this would attract international companies to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], especially the Chinese ones, given the cheap energy prices and the availability of labor and infrastructure, which will serve the country's strategy to shift towards an economy free from oil revenues.

    Lines for transporting gas and oil
    And since [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] produces large quantities of oil and significant reserves of associated petroleum gas, it can construct other pipelines to transport oil and gas along the "[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/2642643810/%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9/ar/]development road[/url]" and from there to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which has the infrastructure through which oil and gas can be exported from the port of Ceyhan in Adana province. (South), or through the gas pipeline from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

    Qatar, which is rich in gas, can benefit from the path of development, through the completion of a line to export its abundant gas to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] via [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which serves the strategy of the European Union countries to dispense with Russian gas.
