Trade team in Iraq

An Egyptian delegation from the Egyptian National Holding Company for Food Industries will visit Iraq by the end of August.

During the 7-day visit, the team will hold intensive talks with senior Iraqi officials on exporting food to Iraq within the oil-for-food deal approved by the United Nations, an official said today.

Egypt had previously exported $50 million worth of margarine, sugar, soap and cleaning materials to Iraq during the first stage of the oil-for-food-deal.
