Minister Al Falih officially opened today in partnership with his Iraqi counterpart the seventh session of Iraq International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition.
Saudi Arabia is participating as a guest of honour with a delegation of 22 companies specializing in the fields of energy and other industries, stated the SPA report.
Speaking at the event, Al Falih said both the kingdom and Iraq enjoyed strategic advantages that include human resources, geographical location, energy resources, natural and mineral resources and current and potential industries.
Highlighting the similarity of these advantages, the minister said: "Their integration in others constitute a solid basis for co-operation which began during the last period and constitutes a motive to seize the historic opportunity to build an effective partnership to achieve the aspirations of the two sisterly countries."
