We tried to institutionalise those arrangements.

There will be future summits for considerations in all 3 capitals; Amman, Baghdad, and Cairo, he added.

Al-Khasawneh highlighted 2 tasks that he ascribed as strategic under the trilateral agreement: a joint industrial endeavor at the Iraqi-Jordanian borders and the Basra-Aqabah oil pipeline line that, according to al-Khasawneh, will demonstrate Iraqs capability to export oil and aid Jordan boost its oil imports.

It likewise complements the efforts the Egyptians are making, in addition to the Turks and Greeks, to export oil across the Mediterranean.
