MOSCOW, Dec 12 (PRIME) -- Gazprom Energoholding, which manages Russian gas giant Gazprom’s power assets, plans to enter the Iraqi market, Iraq’s ambassador to Russia Haidar Mansour Hadi said on his Twitter page late on Tuesday.

“I’ve met with a delegation from Gazprom Energy Holding who gave a detailed briefing about the company’s activities and its wish to enter the Iraqi market in the electricity sphere. I’ve confirmed the embassy’s full support to the company as this is very important to Iraq,” he said.
