Iran, Iraq ink deal to counter dust storms

Baghdad, IRNA – Iran and Iraq have agreed to devise and implement joint pilot schemes to deal with sand and dust storms in both neighboring countries.

The agreement was signed in Baghdad by Ali-Mohammad Tahmasbi, the secretary of Iran’s national policymaking headquarters for dealing with sand and dust storms, and Mithaq Abdul-Hussein Obaid, the technical undersecretary of Iraq’s agriculture ministry.

According to the deal, the two sides will devise four pilot schemes for the Iraqi provinces of Dhi Qar, Al Muthanna, Wasit, and Maysan, as well as two pilot schemes for the Iranian province of Ilam and Khuzestan to manage sand and dust storms.

During the meeting, the two sides also explored ways to deal with desertification, reduce the effects of climate change, remove barriers to food security, and deal with sand and dust storms.
