The Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC) recently visited Kut in the Wasit Governorate, further strengthening its ties with the region. Al-Burhan Group, a prominent member of IBBC, were honoured to provide transportation on their Helicopter, from Baghdad to Kut, offering spectacular views of the fertile river land alongside the Tigris.

In Kut, the IBBC delegation, including Baroness Nicholson, President of IBBC, Christophe Michels, Managing Director, and Mr. Imad Al Burhan, Chairman of Al-Burhan Group, met with Kut Governor, Mr. Mohammed Jamil Al Mayahi. They were also joined by Mr. Dorgham Isamail, Chairman of Kut Investment Commission.

During their visit, the delegates explored Kut's key landmarks, including Kut dam, built by a British engineer in the 1930s, along with the grain silo and flour mill. They admired these structures, highlighting their role in the local economy.

The delegates had the opportunity to visit the Al-Burhan Group's state-of-the-art hollowcore concrete factory, showcasing the company's dedication to meeting the evolving needs of Iraq's development sectors. Additionally, they immersed themselves in the rich cultural and historical significance of Kut's city centre. As a gesture of respect, the delegation paid homage to the fallen soldiers by visiting the Kut War Cemetery, which is meticulously maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

The IBBC visit to Kut demonstrates its commitment to fostering stronger bilateral relationships between Iraq and the United Kingdom. Collaborating with Al-Burhan Group, IBBC continues to drive economic growth, cultural exchange, and mutual understanding. This visit marks another significant milestone in their collective efforts to enhance business opportunities and cooperation in Iraq.
