ILAM, April 22 (MNA) � Ilam provincial governor has said Ilam has plans to expand cultural and economic interactions with border provinces of Iraq.
Mohammad Reza Morvarid who was addressing a meeting of provincial officials in Ilam on Monday told that the province�s high officials had developed plans to promote the status of Ilam�s cultural and economic interactions with Iraq�s border provinces. �Joint sessions with Iraqi officials and businessmen would be crucial to improve the province�s relations with Iraq especially in economy and to find markets for Iranian goods,� the governor was quoted by Mehr News correspondent in Ilam as saying.

He also pointed to agreements signed on university student exchange programs in different university courses. �The province has high potentials in its universities to host Iraqi students, thus providing grounds for implementing the student exchange program,� he added.

Morvarid also said that Ilam would be a good destination for Iraqi patients coming for treatment and tourism. �Tackling issues restricting the tourism in the province, either for treatment or for sightseeing in the province�s pristine and beautiful nature would contribute to people�s economic status,� he said, and called private firms to �play an important role in exporting technical and engineering services to Iraq drawing upon unique potentials of the province,� and said that Iran�s embassy in Iraq would support such enterprises.
