And it is interesting that China has sent 500 PhD students to study in this university because of its importance and scientific background. We had a conference at the university to discuss the technical report prepared during their visit to Iraq and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Iraqi side. The report aimed three categories: The first category: the government represented by the ministries, the second category is (information for the information) through universities and agricultural institutes, and the third category is the private sector, which is the target of this report, in order to build a solid relationship between the private sectors in Iraq and the Netherland to develop the agricultural reality and build commercial and industrial relations. In the specialized lectures, we have been nominated by the Iraqi Embassy to be the spokesman for the Iraqi private sector and so we have talked in general about the private sector in Iraq and the importance of this partnership and our aspiration to work in the transfer of the Dutch technology and expertise to Iraq.”

We talked also about the specifications owned by the company's factories of technology and laboratories, as well as the productive capacities of various materials specialized in the field of agriculture and others. We have noticed the good feeling of the presence about Al-Joud Company and the al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine.

He concluded: "We had a conversation with the professors of the University, who have shown interest in continuing communication and coming to Iraq. Afterwards, we went to the University Museum, a museum specialized in various agricultural crops. In fact, we have used our presence in the Netherlands to visit some specialized agricultural companies, as we aspire to achieve joint working relations with the Dutch side, especially in the field of high technology, in order to develop the pr2oducts of the Iraqi market and to export them to foreign markets.
