Iraq and the United States have signed 48 agreements and partnership deals aimed at strengthening economic cooperation during Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's official visit to Washington.
According to the Iraqi Prime Minister's office, the agreements include memoranda of understanding, cooperation frameworks, and partnership declarations involving both public and private sector institutions from the two countries.
Several of the deals focus on Iraq's oil and energy sectors, with major American companies including ExxonMobil, KBR, GE Vernova, Shell, and Halliburton partnering with Iraq's Ministries of Oil and Electricity.
The agreements also cover plans to develop a major crude oil pipeline linking Iraq and Syria, a project expected to enhance regional energy infrastructure and boost exports.
In the telecommunications sector, Iraq signed an agreement with Starlink to introduce satellite internet services across the country, improving digital connectivity.
During the visit, U.S. President Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Zaidi at the White House and described him as a "champion," expressing support for his administration's economic reform agenda.
Prime Minister Zaidi, who assumed office earlier this year, has pledged to revive Iraq's economy, improve public services, and curb the influence of armed groups operating within the country.
Despite its vast oil wealth, Iraq continues to face economic challenges caused by years of conflict, weak infrastructure, corruption, and reduced oil revenues following disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict.
The latest agreements are expected to deepen bilateral cooperation and support Iraq's efforts to rebuild its economy and modernise key sectors.
