By Iclal Turan
NEW YORK (AA) — Türkiye hopes to advance integration in its region with a road and rail project linking its southeastern border with southern Iraq, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday.
"We hope to further strengthen regional integration with the Development Road project," Erdogan said, addressing the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
Türkiye and Iraq are working to build a land and railroad transportation corridor from the Iraqi province of Basra to the Turkish border.
Erdogan also said Türkiye acts with an understanding that "strengthens Iraq's political unity, territorial integrity, and reconstruction efforts," and does not differentiate between the "elements that make up the country."
