Damascus (ST) – The Minister of Agriculture in the caretaker government Mohammad Hassan Qatana discussed with a delegation from the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture, headed by the Director General of the Horticulture Department, Dr. Hadi Hussein, the development of agricultural relations between Syria and Iraq, and the enhancement of trade exchange of products in a way that achieves integration between the two sides.

Minister Qatana explained that Syria is a major source of many agricultural products exported to Iraq, especially vegetables and fruits, stressing the need to strengthen relations between the two countries in the agricultural field.

He pointed to the importance of the quadripartite agreement between Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon being the nucleus of an Arab economic agreement that would enhance trade and technical exchange, facilitate the arrival of products, and regulate and reduce fees, noting the importance of putting these agreements into effect.

Qatana expressed the ministry’s readiness to cooperate in the field of securing production requirements and confronting climate change, pointing to the joint Syrian-Iraqi project in the field of confronting sand and dust storms by rehabilitating the desert, pastures and deteriorated sites.

For his part, the head of the Iraqi delegation indicated that all proposals will be transferred to the Minister of Agriculture in Iraq, noting the historical relations between Syria and Iraq and the necessity of developing them and activating the quadripartite agreement in a way that serves the interests of the two countries.
