Iranian, Iraqi officials discuss cooperation in water, power industries

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian and Iraqi officials in a meeting in Tehran discussed ways to further develop cooperation in water and power industries.


The discussions took place in a meeting between Iranian Deputy Energy Minister for Research and Human Resources Alireza Qassemi Pourafshar and an Iraqi delegation on Wednesday.

During the meeting, Qassemi Pourafshar voiced Iran's readiness to train Iraqi workforce in the water and power industries.

He said signing agreements between Iranian and Iraqi officials for promotion of mutual cooperation in the field of water and power industries would help boosting bilateral ties and cooperation.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi side welcomed Iran's offer, and expressed the hope that Baghdad could benefit from Tehran's rich experiments in the fields of water and power industries.

Iran and Iraq have enjoyed growing ties ever since the overthrow of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, during the 2003 US invasion of the Muslim country.

Both sides are working on a series of plans to take wide strides in expanding their ties, in economic fields in particular.
