TEHRAN – Iran and the
Republic of Tajikistan on Saturday stressed strengthening bilateral cooperation in the fields of water, soil and agriculture as well as modern irrigational systems.
Speaking in a meeting with the Tajik delegation on the sidelines of the 25th Congress of the International Commission on Irrigation & Drainage (ICID), 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.
