Iraq's ambassador to Ukraine Khalid Said Shorsh said that Ukraine could conclude a contract for the supply of large quantities of Iraqi oil and gas.

"Ukraine can get a contract for the supply of large quantities of Iraqi oil and gas (right now we are actively developing our natural gas fields), but the embassy has not received such applications from the Ukrainian government yet".

The diplomat added that small amounts of oil were imported in tankers by private Ukrainian companies.

Khalid Said Shorsh emphasized that in Ukraine there were large companies with extensive experience in the oil and gas industry. "If they want to work in Iraq, they can participate in the tenders on general grounds", - he said.
