Source: ME Times/AFP

DAMASCUS -- Syria and Iraq have agreed to repair and reopen an oil pipeline that has been shut since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the official Syrian newspaper Al Baath said Wednesday.

The two countries have also agreed to "build a pipeline carrying gas from the Iraqi gas field of Akas, near the Syrian frontier, to a gas treatment plant at Deir Ezzor" in northeastern Syria, it said.

Quoting Syria's oil and mineral resources minister Sufian Allaw, the daily said the decisions were part of several economic agreements signed by the two countries.
