“The cabinet has approved this project along with other projects to build free zones near Basra and Najaf airports..the Basra free zone will be built in Shalamija area just near the border with Iran,” he said.
Assad said a fourth free zone could also be constructed at the joint economic zone that will be built on the border with Jordan.
