On Saturday, the Iraqi border outlets announced the approval of the Iraqi government to open al-Qaem-al-Bukamal crossing for the movement of goods and people after completing all required procedures.
The Al-Bukamal-al-Qaem border-crossing between Syria and Iraq was officially opened on Monday for the flow of goods and people after finishing all the required measures by the Syrian and Iraqi sides.
SANA said that the crossing was opened in the presence of Interior Minister Maj. Gen. Mohammad Khaled al-Rahmoun and Head of the Iraqi border outlets, Dr. Kazem Al-Oqabi, the representative of the Iraqi prime minister.
Earlier, all preparations for the reopening of al-Bukamal-al-Qaem were completed as the area around the city of al-Bukamal has been declared safe and cleared of ISIS terrorists.
The concerned authorities have completed the necessary preparations for the reopening of al-Bukamal-al-Qaem border-crossing with Iraq in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor to be the main crossing gate between Syria and Iraq after years of closure due to the attacks of Daesh terrorist organizations, SANA said.
