A strategic partnership to extend pipelines from Iraq to Egypt in the works

A strategic partnership between Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan could extend oil and gas pipelines from Iraq's Al-Basra Oil Terminal to Jordan, through the Port of Aqaba port and on to Egypt, said Iraq’s ambassador to Egypt Habib Al Sadr on Monday. The proposal is part of a string of agreements which include Iraq sending its first shipment of oil to Egypt in March. Al Sadr said a third project is in the works where Iraq would supply Cairo with crude oil for refining before it is delivered back to Iraq as oil products, Ahram Online reports.
