London, UK (KRG.org) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) will hold a trade and investment conference in London on 15th and 16th June this year.

The conference, which has the full support of Prime Minister Barham Salih, gives serious international investors and companies the opportunity to meet the KRG's high officials, ministers and decision-makers.

They will also hear from foreign and Iraqi companies with first-hand experience of doing business in the Kurdistan Region, the safe and secure gateway to all of Iraq.

Ms Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the KRG’s High Representative to the UK, said, “There is a great deal of interest in trade and investment opportunities in Kurdistan. Through this conference, we hope to give international companies and individuals the information and contacts they need in whatever sector they are interested in, including oil and gas, security and defence, education and training, agriculture, construction and tourism.”

The conference is produced in coordination with Newsdesk Media Group, the publisher of the KRG’s official investment guide, ‘Invest in the Future’ (LINK to the guide). It was postponed last year due to the Kurdistan Region’s parliamentary and presidential elections, and has now been rescheduled to June.

The conference is produced with the support of UKTI, the British government's trade and investment department, and the Middle East Association which is Britain's leading trade association for the region.
