Visit State Company of Geological Survey
and Mining of Iraq
The Netherlands Government recently
organized a conference in The Hague on
the assistance of the Netherlands to
help rebuild Iraq. On the occasion of
that meeting, Dr.K.S. Al-Bassam,
Director General of the State Company of
geological Survey and Mining of Iraq (GEOSURV-IRAQ),
paid a surprise visit to ITC on 28th
January to discuss a revival of the
collaboration between ITC and GEOSURV-IRAQ
which in the past led to the training of
GEOSURV-IRAQ staff, currently still in
active service.
Discussions
progressed smoothly and efficiently and
resulted in the concluding of a
Memorandum of Understanding to confirm
the intensions of ITC and GEOSURV-IRAQ
and to provide the enabling vehicle to
develop and implement mutually
beneficial and agreed upon initiatives,
with training of GEOSURV-IRAQ staff
being a priority.
The Memorandum of Understanding was
signed by Professor Molenaar, on behalf
of ITC and Dr. Al-Bassam on behalf of
GEOSURV-IRAQ
