Iraq's Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, has chaired a meeting to discuss the first phase of water projects outlined in a framework agreement with Turkey, signed in April.
The package includes 13 key projects focused on water resource management, sanitation, and irrigation. Al-Sudani emphasized the importance of optimizing these projects, particularly in water treatment and agricultural irrigation.
He directed the launch of the initial projects, with funding already allocated, and called for the formation of technical teams in relevant ministries to ensure effective execution and collaboration with Turkish experts.
The projects were distributed as follows: 6 projects within the Ministry of Water Resources; 5 projects within the responsibility of the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Municipalities; and 2 projects within the Ministry of Agriculture. They varied between irrigation network reclamation projects, closed irrigation systems, main and branch canal drainage projects, or dams for water storage.
