Over the course of two days, the forum hosted extensive discussions on the challenges and future strategies of the energy sector in Iraq and the wider region. The event brought together a distinguished group of energy experts and specialists from Iraq and abroad, including government officials, senior advisors, academics, and representatives of leading international energy companies.
