Iraq reopens Al Qaim border crossing with Syria
Baghdad ( – Iraqi authorities announced that the Al Qaim border crossing with Syria has officially reopened to both travelers and commercial cargo, marking a significant step toward restoring bilateral ties and regional connectivity. Situated in Iraq's western Anbar province, approximately 400 kilometers from Baghdad, the Al Qaim crossing is one of the most important land gateways between the two neighboring countries. It had remained shut since December 2024 due to heightened security concerns in Syria. The reopening follows months of diplomatic recalibration after the collapse of the Bashar Al Assad administration, which had strained Baghdad-Damascus relations. Iraqi officials say the decision reflects a broader effort to normalize cross-border movement and stabilize trade and security cooperation in the region.
