Barzani said on Monday, November 23, at the opening of a Kurdish-American online conference to encourage investment in the region, sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, "the regional government has provided great facilities for investing companies to enter the region. We encourage US companies to invest in the region."

He added, "the Kurdistan region is the most secure region of Iraq and and a suitable environment for attracting American and foreign companies", adding, "We are working hard to diversify our economy, by privatizing parts of the agricultural and electricity sectors. The Kurdistan Region may become Iraq's food basket."

According to Shafaq news Barzani pointed out that "The Kurdistan Region wants to achieve self-sufficiency, and hopes to export its local products to the countries of the region and all over the world."

The conference activities will last for two days with the participation of high-ranking officials from the US, the Kurdistan Region and American investment companies.
