Iraq allocates 1,000 acres for youth housing project
Iraq has allocated 1,000 acres of land for the development of a low-cost residential city dedicated to young people in the 18 to 40 age group, a government adviser said on Saturday. Ali Hilal, Advisor to the Prime Minister and Executive Director of the Supreme Council for Youth, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the initiative targets an age group that continues to face housing challenges, and especially youth at the start of their adult lives. Hilal said multiple sites are being studied to identify the most suitable location, adding that the project will serve as a pilot and could later be extended to other provinces if successful. He also highlighted Iraq's rapid demographic growth, with an annual population increase of 3 - 4 percent, equivalent to about 1–1.2 million births per year. Around 900,000 to 1 million Iraqis enter the workforce annually, adding pressure on the labour and housing markets. (Writing by Majda Muhsen; Editing by Anoop Menon) (

He noted that the signing of the agreement with Syria reflects the trend toward sustainable cooperation that supports the stability and prosperity of the region.

He highlighted the importance of the Saudi role in supporting the economic recovery process in Syria. A high-level Syrian delegation, led by Minister Al-Shaar, arrived in Riyadh on an official visit aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two countries. The visit follows the outcomes of last month's Saudi-Syrian Investment Forum, which was held in Damascus under the patronage of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and brought together over 100 Saudi companies and 20 Saudi government entities.
