UAE's Crescent Petroleum Agreements with Iraq - A Win-Win Situation for Both Countries

 

UAE

The recent signing of three 20-year agreements between Crescent Petroleum, a leading energy company based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Iraq's Ministry of Oil to appraise, develop, and produce oil and gas from two blocks in Diyala governorate and one in Basra governorate is a significant step towards strengthening bilateral relations between both nations. However, the benefits of this collaboration extend beyond mere diplomacy and can be felt in the economic growth and job creation opportunities it provides to Iraq.

The agreements are expected to deliver much-needed natural gas to fuel nearby power plants and improve government services, particularly in Diyala and Basra. The power plants in these regions have suffered from fuel shortages, which have led to electricity outages, causing significant disruptions to essential services such as hospitals, schools, and businesses. By providing a reliable source of natural gas, these agreements will help to address the electricity crisis, reduce the carbon footprint of power generation, and promote sustainable development.

The economic benefits of this collaboration are substantial. The agreements are expected to create thousands of new jobs in Diyala and Basra, primarily in the oil and gas industry, but also in related sectors such as logistics, construction, and services. This job creation will have a positive impact on Iraq's economy, which has suffered from decades of conflict and instability.

Furthermore, the collaboration between Crescent Petroleum and Iraq's Ministry of Oil is expected to attract more foreign investment to the country. The agreements demonstrate the potential of Iraq's energy sector and the willingness of its government to engage in international partnerships. Such collaboration will help to diversify the country's economy, reduce its dependence on oil exports, and promote economic growth.

In conclusion, the signing of the three agreements between Crescent Petroleum and Iraq's Ministry of Oil is a significant step towards strengthening bilateral relations between both nations. The agreements are expected to deliver much-needed natural gas, create thousands of new jobs, and attract foreign investment to Iraq. This partnership is a win-win situation for both countries and is an example of how international collaborations can promote sustainable development and economic growth.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
