Iraq to rehabilitate border crossing with Saudi Arabia

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has authorized funding for the rehabilitation of the Al-Jamima border crossing located on the frontier with Saudi Arabia. The infrastructure project encompasses both the renovation of the crossing facility and essential upgrades to the highway connecting the site to the city of Samawah. Officials have set a target completion and opening date for the year 2027.

The initiative is designed to bolster bilateral trade relations between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Beyond the facilitation of cross-border commerce, the project is expected to provide a stimulus to the local economy in the surrounding region.
