Speaking in a meeting with the Tajik delegation on the sidelines of the 25th Congress of the International Commission on Irrigation & Drainage (ICID) on Saturday, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Water and Soil Affairs Safdar Niyazi Shahraki reiterated that officials of the two countries have rolled up their sleeves for expanding bilateral cooperation in the field of agriculture.
Given that the International Drainage Workshop will be held in Tajikistan next year, cooperation between Iran and Tajikistan should also expand in this field, he said.
During the meeting, the two sides agreed to hold tutorial workshops in order to exchange information and technical know-how in various fields.
Cooperation between the two countries in various fields including producing and supplying irrigation equipment and machinery as well as manufacturing low-consuming irrigational equipment were among the other subjects discussed in this meeting.
