The two sides met in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on the side-lines of their participation in the World Economic Forum, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

Al-Sudani expressed the government’s desire to cooperate with the English company to provide Iraq with the required technology in the agricultural sector to help face environmental challenges.

The Iraqi Prime Minister noted that the country is struggling with the effects of climate change and severe water shortages, which led to a rise in the country’s desertification.

Al-Sudani stated that, in addition to assisting farmers and the private sector, the government has carried out several initiatives to improve the agricultural sector and implement cutting-edge irrigation and farming practices.

Burrows expressed willingness to be present in Iraq, provide the Iraqi agricultural sector with the latest innovations, and utilize Iraqi lands to boost output.
