rafidainscope - Iraqi and Syrian authorities have reached a package of joint measures to activate trade and passenger movement across border crossings, implementing government directives aimed at boosting bilateral trade. The agreement included opening direct communication channels to address customs
obstacles, as well as resuming passenger movement through the Al-Waleed crossing early next year, while maintaining transit through the Rabia and Al-Qaim crossings. The understandings encompassed adopting an electronic customs data exchange system to ensure accuracy and save time, allocating
new lanes for trucks and perishable goods, and approving the expansion of the Rabia crossing to accommodate increasing trade flows, serving the economic interests of both countries.
