TEHRAN Cheap Haason Reddick Jersey , Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Top Iranian military commander said Monday that his country will remove border restrictions with Iraqi autonomous Kurdistan region, Press TV reported.
"Border restrictions between Iran and the Iraqi Kurdistan Region will be lifted soon and within the next few days," the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Baqeri said.
Iran had imposed border curbs after last month's independence referendum in the Kurdistan Region.
If Kurdistan had implemented its plan to break away from Iraq, the country would have faced "war and long-term bloodshed," which would have also affected neighboring countries Cheap Chase Edmonds Jersey , Baqeri was quoted as saying.
On September 24, Iran announced that it had closed its airspace to all flights to and from the Iraqi Kurdish region at the request of the country's federal government.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi government responded to the referendum by a number of punitive measures, including a campaign to seize back positions held by Kurdish forces since 2014.
On October 16, Iraq's federal forces retook control of the Kurdish-held city of Kirkuk.
NEW DELHI, May 16 (Xinhua) -- India will next month test its home-made multi-object tracking radar on a rocket Cheap Mason Cole Jersey , a senior space official has reportedly said.
"The multi-object tracking radar will be tested next month during a polar satellite launch vehicle rocket flight. The formal commissioning of the system is expected to happen three months down the line," M.Y.S. Prasad of the state-owned Satish Dhawan Space Centre was quoted by the media as saying Saturday.
The state-of-the-art radar, being developed by the Satish Dhawan Space Centre will give the country's space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), ability to track 10 objects simultaneously.
The radar can also keep a tab on India's space assets and track space debris, which the space agency currently does by data provided by U.S. space agency NASA.

Director Barry Jenkins Cheap Christian Kirk Jersey , whose movie Moonlight won this year's best picture Oscar, is writing and directing a drama for Amazon based on a prize-winning novel about escaping from slavery.
The Underground Railroad will be adapted from the book of the same name by novelist Colson Whitehead. The novel has sold over 825,000 copies and won a National Book Award, one of the US' most prestigious literary prizes.
Inspired by the historic secret network of routes that allowed slaves to reach freedom in the North in the 18th century, the novel tells the story of young African American Cora's escape from a Georgia plantation.
She finds not a metaphorical but an actual railroad in operation beneath Southern soil.
"Colson's writing has always defied convention, and The Underground Railroad is no different," the director said in a statement Monday.
"It's a groundbreaking work that pays respect to our nation's history while using the form to explore it in a thoughtful and original way," Jenkins said, praising "the sweep and grandeur" of the novel's narrative.
Amazon, which is developing the series Cheap Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , has not given a release date for the drama, which is slated for production by the firms Pastel and Plan B, a company owned by Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
BOAO, China, March 26 (Xinhua) -- China's Belt and Road Initiative is doing a key job in restructuring the global production value chain amid profound changes in the post-crisis world, agreed government and business leaders attending an forum here for promoting cooperation across Asia.
Traditional international investment and trade structure is undergoing a readjustment Cheap Chandler Jones Jersey , they said during the annual conference of the Boao Forum for Asia held in south China's Hainan province.
Dwindling investment from the developed world and the rich countries' focus on rebooting their own manufacturing industry will result in sluggish trade and production around the world.
Pessimists are talking about the end of globalization. However, scholars are pointing to a new type of globalization that will be driven more by the East than the West.
ENHANCED INTER-CONNECTIVITY, BETTER COOPERATION
"Opening-up" has been a catch phrase by Chinese officials for quite a few decades. While sticking to its pledge for common development and shared prosperity with the rest of the world, China is pressing ahead with its supply-side structural reform.
The painstaking job promises to optimize China's growth mode and economic structure, enabling it to turn out better products and services for cooperative partners along the ancient trade routes, analysts said.
More than 30 years of opening up and rapid development since China adopted the policy of reform and opening to the outside world in 1978 have lifted China into the status of the world's second largest economy Cheap David Johnson Jersey , Dong Wenbiao, chairman of China Minsheng Investment Group, told a special session on the Belt and Road Initiative in Boao.
It is transforming from a manufacturing powerhouse to a country stressing more on high-tech-led progress, said Dong, adding that "We hope to share our experience with the rest of the world, and the Belt and Road Initiative is a pilot project of such endeavors."
Proposed in 2013 by Chinese President Xi Jinping Cheap Josh Rosen Jersey , the Belt and Road Initiative comprises the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and is aimed at building a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along the ancient trade routes.
The initiative has so far gained the support of over 100 countries and international organizations, and more than 40 of them have signed cooperation agreements with China.
