Iraq energy diplomacy expands as the Baghdad International Energy Forum prepares to welcome top global leaders in the oil and energy sector. Scheduled to take place in the capital, the event will bring together high-level officials and industry executives from across the world.
In addition, the forum will feature a keynote speech from OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais. His participation signals the importance of this gathering and Iraq’s rising influence in international energy affairs. The Ministry of Oil confirmed the event’s high-level nature and strategic purpose.
Moreover, senior energy ministers, top Iraqi government officials, and leading international experts will attend. The State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is hosting the event, underlining Iraq’s commitment to energy dialogue and global partnership.
Executives from major oil and energy firms will join the discussions. Some of these companies already operate in Iraq, while others see this forum as an entry point into the country’s expanding energy market. Their presence reflects Iraq’s appeal as a destination for investment in oil and gas.
Iraq energy diplomacy expands further through this forum, which will address major global challenges. Topics such as energy security, sustainable development, and energy transition will take center stage. Workshops and panels will promote active discussion and idea-sharing among global stakeholders.
The Ministry of Oil stressed that this event demonstrates Iraq’s openness and its desire to deepen cooperation with international partners. The country aims to play a stronger role in ensuring global energy stability and economic growth.
With the world facing rapid energy shifts and growing geopolitical tensions, Iraq presents itself as a reliable and proactive energy partner. Hosting this major forum confirms that Iraq is serious about shaping the future of energy, not just participating in it.
Through strategic dialogue and expert engagement, Iraq moves toward a more prominent and respected place on the global energy map. The Baghdad International Energy Forum serves as both a symbol and a tool for that mission.
Iraq energy diplomacy expands with every new effort to connect with international players, improve cooperation, and attract sustainable investment into its oil and energy sectors.
