Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II
to Egypt in November.
Shamali added that during his meeting with
Iraqi Minister of Industry Minerals Manhal Al-Khabbaz, an update was given on the progress of

preliminary economic feasibility study for the joint economic city.
The meeting stressed the importance of providing the company
with the information and data required by both sides in order to expedite the completion
of the study as soon as possible, informing the Iraqi side of the introduction
of one-year multi-trip visas for Iraqi investors and industrialists to promote
trade between the two countries, and supporting the Iraqi proposal to establish
