BAGHDAD: º£½ÇÖ±²¥'s ambassador to Iraq said on Tuesday that the Arar border crossing will officially open on October 15.
The border had been closed since 1990 when relations between º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and Iraq deteriorated following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait.
º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and Iraq had been in discussions about opening the border crossing for several years in a bid to boost trade between the two countries.
The Saudi town of Arar is 70 kilometers from the Iraqi border.
