Global Technology Exchange Program
Middle East
Iraq
The Office of International Programs (OIP) works closely with Iraqi Ministry of Construction and Housing officials to facilitate transportation technology exchange between the U.S. and Iraq. A non–binding Memorandum of Cooperation between USDOT and the Ministry signed in 2006, serves as the umbrella agreement under which technology exchange activities are taking place. Activities to be carried out include the proposed creation of a technology exchange center in Baghdad, the first of its kind in the region.
