Egypt (Cairo) - Eng. Rashid Mohamed Rashid, the Trade and Industry Minister is to head an investors team on a visit to Iraqi Kurdistan this month, to consider the possibility of establishing projects in industry, tourism, energy, housing and infrastructure in the Kurdistan province.

Egypt is encouraging the private sector and Egyptian firms to go to Iraqi Kurdistan as part of the support of Egypt to Iraq in general and Kurdistan province in particular to give a push to the economic development process, Rashid said.

Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan province Borham Saleh said that Kurdistan would provide Egyptian businessmen with all possible facilities to work in the areas of industry, energy and infrastructure.

Saleh who paid a visit to Egypt early this month said that $100 billion was allocated by Kurdistan for government expenses in the development projects.

Iraqis in northern Iraq welcome Egyptian businessmen and are viewing the Egyptian role as basic to the stability of Iraq.

Saleh said that he is looking forward to making use of the Egyptian experience in economic development as it is one of the leading experiences in the developing countries.
