Iraqi President, Jalal Talabani, is currently in Beijing for talks with Hu Jintao, the Chinese President, and is the first visit by an Iraqi head of state since 1958.
The deal is expected to focus on a $700m contract that was signed before the downfall of Saddam Hussein to develop an Iraqi oilfield. The Chinese also hope to expand the contract to allow further oil discoveries, as just 10% of Iraq has been surveyed for oil.
Oil is big business for China, the trade is worth over $50bn to them and around 60% of China’s oil is imported from the region.
Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said: “China has always been supportive and has participated in the rebuilding of Iraq.
“We will reduce or forgive Iraq’s debt on a large scale, and help it to train people in the fields of economics, electrical power, diplomacy and management. We hope Iraq can restore stability, safety and development as soon as possible,” Qin told a news conference.
