Introduction to Iraq:

The Republic of Iraq is located in southwestern Asia, northeast of the Arabian Peninsula, with a land area of 438317 square kilometers and a population of 40.22 million. In 2023, Iraq's gross domestic product reached 255 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 2.3%.

After the Iraq War, Iraq pursued a proactive and pragmatic foreign policy, emphasizing the development of relations with major powers; Seeking cooperation with neighboring countries to create a favorable external environment for domestic stability; Strive to seek assistance from the international community for the post-war reconstruction of Iraq. At the beginning of the 21st century, Iraq had restored or established diplomatic relations with nearly 80 countries and resumed activities within regional and international organizations such as the Arab League, United Nations agencies, and the International Monetary Fund.

Iraq has the fifth largest proven oil reserves in the world. Oil exports are the absolute pillar of a country's fiscal revenue. In addition to abundant oil and gas resources, it also has fertile farmland, water resources, and a young population structure. After decades of war and international sanctions, infrastructure has suffered severe damage. The current core task is to rebuild and promote economic diversification on a large scale, reducing dependence on oil.
