Trade and Industry Minister Yarub Qudah told Jordan’s AlGhad newspaper that the trucks moving through the Treibil border crossing were laden with diverse products, adding that 20 more trucks carrying industrial cargos were slated for passing on Thursday. “Jordan looks at Iraq as a strategic partner in all fields, rather than a market.” Qudah said in his statement.

It stands as the only cross-border trade route between the two countries. Baghdad and Amman had agreed to entrust security at the crossing to a foreign private company.
