Dr. Eng. Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director General of the General Company for Ports of Iraq, affirmed that the Al-Faw Grand Port is no longer a deferred dream, but has become an advanced reality. He noted that two major projects have been completed at 100%, with two others nearing completion, while the immersed tunnel has surpassed 75% progress.

Speaking at the Iraqi Business Summit, held in the presence of His Excellency Mr. Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi, Minister of Transport, alongside government and diplomatic figures, Al-Fartousi stated: “The port represents Iraq’s primary economic gateway to Europe through the Development Road project, which will connect the Gulf to the European continent via modern transport networks.”

He added that “the project embodies a distinct national vision, meticulously crafted by leading international consultancy firms,” emphasizing that “it is not a substitute for other initiatives, but rather a comprehensive strategic pathway for global trade.”
