Vodafone Qatar and Iraq’s state-owned Informatics and Telecom Public Company (ITPC) have signed a joint cooperation agreement to establish a framework for collaborating on telecoms and digital infrastructure.

The agreement – signed on Tuesday during Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026 – calls for Vodafone Qatar and ITPC to explore potential areas of cooperation, including transit projects in Iraq, internet exchange points and international connectivity.

Vodafone Qatar and ITPC will also look at the possibility of interconnecting their respective networks and related infrastructure, with the aim of optimising resources and supporting international data and telecoms traffic.

“This agreement with Vodafone Qatar provides a framework to strengthen cooperation in telecommunications and digital infrastructure, and to explore how Iraq's strategic location can enhance regional and international connectivity,” said Ali Yassin Dawood, director general and board chairman at ITPC.

“Through this agreement, we look forward to combining our expertise and capabilities to explore ways to enhance the efficiency of regional and international data exchange,” added Mohamed Mohsin Alyafei, Vodafone Qatar’s enterprise business unit director.
