This paper will study the economic relevance of Grand Faw Port and how that can be important towards a more sustainable Iraq. It describes how the port can contribute to long-term development plans, enhance the effectiveness of trade, and develop a more stable economy by acknowledging the strategic point of location of Iraq as the most significant one between the East and the West. It also examines that the Development Road project can make the port more diverse by improving the transportation infrastructure of Iraq.
