Bahraini trade delegation arrives in Iraq

A Bahraini trade delegation is recently visiting Baghdad to hold discussions on signing contracts in the course of the oil-for-food agreement.

The chairman of the Bahraini delegation, which comprises representatives of Bahraini companies, Ali Bin Muhammad al-Muslim, told AFP that the objective behind signing trade deals with Baghdad is to "break the wall" already placed among the Arab states and the embargo which prevents contacts with the people of the "one nation."

He stated that the delegation, which includes 12 persons, discussed with Iraqi officials means of developing trade exchange, especially providing Iraq with food stuffs and medicines in the course of the oil-for-food agreement.
