TEHRAN — Iran's state television says Iran and Iraq will increase their economic cooperation to $10 billion in 2010.
The report on Sunday quotes Iranian Vice President Parviz Davoudi. He says the cooperation will be in the energy and trade fields and will also include reconstruction projects in Iraq.
Current economic cooperation between the two countries is about $4 billion.
The remarks come at the end of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's two-day visit to Iran.
This trip was al-Maliki's fourth to Iran since he was elected prime minister.
