Belarusian MTZ eager to resume deliveries to Iraq

       Minsk Tractor Works MTZ plans to resume vehicle deliveries to Iraq. “An Iraqi delegation led by President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Iraq Jaafar Al-Hamadani visited MTZ some time ago.        Representatives of the Iraqi side mentioned the strong interest in MTZ products and suggested setting up an assembly enterprise in Iraq,” the company reported. In turn, the Belarusian company is ready to supply both assembled tractors and assembly kits to Iraq. The company is now looking for partners in Iraq. “MTZ has also been invited to take part in the annual international trade show in Baghdad that will take place in August,” MTZ representatives told BelTA.
      MTZ supplied no vehicles to Iraq in the last two years due to the complicated domestic political situation in Iraq and the lack of safe operating conditions. Before that MTZ had supplied tractors to Iraq occasionally. Iraq bought 57 MTZ vehicles in 2011 and 54 ones in 2012, explained the source.
