He continued: “For example, the phosphate fertilizer plant in Al-Qaim, the nitrogen fertilizer plant in Baiji, the Al-Mishraq sulfur plant in Mosul, and many other factories. Completely new factories to keep pace with industrial technological development.

And the environmental variables that the world suffers from in general and Iraq in particular, which is classified as one of the five countries in the world most affected by climate change.
And he added, "On the other hand, the ministry's vision with regard to the detailed and transformational industries is to give way to the private sector and not compete with it, and this comes through projects that are established and managed by the private sector on its own or through partnership contracts between the public and private sectors and the great advantages of that partnership based on the provisions of Article 15 III of the Public Companies Law of 1997, which is an advanced case for partnership between the public and private sectors.

He pointed out, "On this occasion, the Ministry announces its full support for the private sector, and enabling it of its capabilities to support the Ministry's companies as well, by concluding real partnership contracts for authentic companies with an acceptable financial structure, according to the new guideline that will be issued in the next week after reviewing the old guide and bypassing Some observations that emerged during its implementation to achieve integration between the public and private sectors, as well as support for the mixed sector and their companies.
