TEHRAN (Dispatches) - The Industrial Development & Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO Group) and China’s ZSM have signed an agreement whereby the Chinese firm will set up a water treatment facility in Iran’s western province of Ilam.
The deal was signed during a ceremony in Tehran attended by Iranian Minister of Industry, Mines and Business Mohammad Shariatmadari, IRIB news agency reported on October 18.
The terms of the contract cover the transfer of scientific and technical know-how for ZSM’s desalination machines.
