[size=45]The local government in Dhi Qar revealed a preliminary agreement with the Chinese side to prepare a strategic project plan in the urban, industrial, urban expansion and transportation sector, explaining that implementation will be through the governorate budget and the Iraqi-Chinese agreement or according to the investment law.[/size]
[size=45]The Governor of Dhi Qar, Muhammad Hadi Al-Ghazi, said in a statement followed by (Al-Mada), that "the agreement with the Chinese company (CBRC) has reached its final stages."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ghazi added, "The agreement stipulates that the company will start working on preparing strategic plans for the governorate for a period of two years, without any financial compensation."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "The government will initiate any project approved by the local and central governments," noting that "the financial allocation for the approved project will either be through providing financial credit, or by including it within the Iraqi-Chinese agreement, or for the company to implement it in accordance with the Investment Law."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ghazi revealed a number of "projects that will be included in the plan, including preparing a study for the establishment of a new sustainable city between Mr. Sharif's site, the Euphrates River and the international road."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "the plan also includes the establishment of the largest economic zone in Iraq between Tal Lahm Road, the International Traffic Road, and the airport."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Ghazi noted, "a project to treat and recycle waste, and build roads, bridges and tunnels for urban expansion areas, as well as smart and sustainable transportation within the city center." The local government in Dhi Qar province revealed last year trends to attract more Russian and Chinese companies within its plan to develop the investment sector and implement strategic projects in the province, stressing that the companies are the closest to reality and application as they have been working for several years in oil projects in the province.[/size]
[size=45]Several Chinese companies are working in Dhi Qar province within the development of the Al-Gharraf oil field, the project to rehabilitate the Nasiriyah airport, and other projects for the construction of school buildings.[/size]
[size=45]For his part, the journalist Adnan Aziz Dafar Al-Saadawi said in an interview with (Al-Mada), that "Dhi Qar needs a comprehensive strategic plan that defines the priorities of the projects that the governorate needs."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Saadawi stressed the need to “adopt a roadmap according to which the priorities of projects are determined to be implemented within an annual and five-year plan.”[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out, "the futility of random decisions that are being taken under the pressure of the demonstrations or the loud voice," stressing that "the reconstruction and investment programs require sober plans and vigorous follow-up to overcome obstacles and accelerate the pace of work."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Saadawi believes, "Dhi Qar needs to speed up the launch of the announced projects within the industrial city and provide the appropriate environment to encourage local industries according to controls that make them able to compete with imported goods." And he demanded, "The local government follows up on the announced previous projects and is still reluctant, especially projects that would provide job opportunities for the unemployed graduates and others."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Saadawi pointed out that "many investment projects are still suspended, and even the Investment Authority has been suspended for a while, following the demonstrations calling for a change of its director." He called, "to resolve the problem of lagging projects and activate the role of the Investment Authority in proportion to the governorate's need for investment projects." Al-Saadawi also spoke about the importance of “adhering to the time limit for implementing projects in order to provide their services in a timely manner.”[/size]
[size=45]He stated, "If the local administration is looking for reconstruction and investment, it must provide a safe environment to work in this field." Al-Saadawi went on to say that "work, especially investment, cannot take place in an unsafe environment, because capital is cowardly and requires reassurance first by securing appropriate conditions." In the middle of last year, the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers referred a project to rehabilitate Nasiriyah International Airport to a Chinese company at a cost of $367 million. The local government revealed at the time that the Chinese company had completed all the steps of contracting with the Civil Aviation Authority and that it would start implementing the airport project in the coming months.[/size]
[size=45]Last year, Dhi Qar Governorate announced the start of work to establish more than one hundred modern schools throughout the governorate. She explained, "The Chinese company contracting to develop and rehabilitate Nasiriyah International Airport, has also started effectively establishing more than a hundred schools, according to modern designs and modern specifications.[/size]
