AMMAN — Water Minister Hazem El Nasser on Sunday met with a Korean parliamentary delegation headed by Vice Speaker of the Korean National Assembly Shim Jae-chul, and discussed challenges facing the Kingdom due to the Syrian refugee crisis, with a special focus on the water sector.
The minister called for increasing support to water-stressed refugee host countries, adding that Jordan was one of the first countries in the region and the world to adopt programmes to enhance scarce water resources, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
He also referred to the strategic partnership between Jordan’s water sector and Korean public and private institutions that financed a number of water projects across the Kingdom.
The Korean official highlighted the importance of providing all forms of support to Jordan to enable it to carry out water projects that would positively reflect on its economic and social environment.
