Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul-Kareem al-Luaybi was quoted by Iraqi media as saying that his country is ready to establish a long-term agreement with China to supply all of China’s needs for crude oil. The Oil Minister said Iraq seeks to bolster its oil ties with China and considers China to be a strategic partner. He also stated that China imports more than 500,000 barrels per day from Iraq. Chinese companies have been aggressively working with Iraq in extracting and bringing to market crude oil. The oil minister did not state the exact number of additional barrels per day that would be put on the market.
