Calls for Govt to approve Deal for Iraq-Jordan Highway

The Head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mohammed al-Halboussi, has reportedly requested that the Iraqi government expedite the approval of the protection and security contract for the International Highway between Iraq and Jordan and allow the re-opening of the border-crossing between the two countries.

Halboussi stated that the project was considered an exceptional one, which would save a substantial amount of money for the country in addition to creating jobs for the unemployed.
