Iraq to ‘significantly’ cut gas imports from Iran next year: Iraqi finance minister |
2020-08-24 |
[Rudaw] Iraq will "significantly" reduce its heavy reliance on Iranian energy imports by as soon as next year, Iraq's finance minister said in an online interview with an American international affairs think tank on Friday. Minister Ali Allawi's comments to the Atlantic Council on the future of his country's energy sector follow Iraq's latest round of strategic dialogue with the United States, a longtime adversary of Iran. "This is has been going on for several years now, it is unlikely we can find a short term substitute, but a medium-term effort can be done by linking the Iraqi grid to the Gulf grid," Allawi said. "The dependence on Iranian electricity and energy will begin to trail down significantly sometime next year." |
