Kurdistan,(KTV),PNA. Companies from Poland and the Netherlands are currently on
a visit to Kurdistan to examine various key projects including rail links and
oil refineries.
Representatives of the companies met with Osman Shwani, KRG Planning Minister,
to negotiate the projects. At the meeting Osman Shwani pointed out that the
Kurdistan Region's Investment Law made it easier for companies to set up
subsidiaries here, adding that the security and stability in the region helps
encourage foreign companies to come and invest in Kurdistan.
The KRG Planning Minister urged the Polish and Dutch companies to explore all
potential areas of investment and said that they would receive the ministry’s
full support. The two companies said they hoped that the people of Kurdistan
would be able to benefit from the proposed projects.

take part in the construction of various transport projects, including a tram
system for Hawler and rail terminals in the cities of Hawler, Sulaymaniya and
