Ali-Abadi emphasized the importance of water recycling in Iranian industries during a meeting with Gennady Trubilo, the Minister of Housing and Public Services of Belarus. He pointed out that water recycling as a sustainable solution can help improve the consumption of water resources in the country. This issue has become increasingly important, especially in the current conditions of water scarcity and environmental crises.
Opportunities for Joint Cooperation
Ali-Abadi said: "One of the opportunities for joint cooperation between the two countries could be water recycling and reuse. This technology can be applied in various industries including oil and petrochemicals, agriculture, and food industries." He added that Iran has successful experiences in water recycling in large industrial projects and Belarus can also benefit from these experiences.

Existing Capacities in Iran
With its diverse capacities in water recycling, Iran can serve as a model for other countries in this field. For example, in the oil and petrochemical industries, water recycling is recognized as a key component in water resource management. Additionally, projects such as the Azadegan oil field, with a daily production capacity of over 50,000 barrels of oil, can be considered an example of optimal use of recycled water in Iran's oil industry.
In this regard, cooperation with countries like Belarus can help transfer new technologies and improve water management methods in industries. Ali-Abadi also referred to Iran's plans for developing water infrastructure and said: "We are looking to increase water recycling capacities by 30% in the coming years, which requires international cooperation and information exchange."
Economic and Environmental Implications
The development of water recycling technologies can not only meet industrial needs but also help preserve water resources and reduce pressure on the environment. This issue is particularly significant in Iran's arid and semi-arid regions. Moreover, reducing costs associated with water supply can lead to improved economic conditions for industries and increase their competitiveness.
At the end of this meeting, both parties emphasized the necessity of forming joint working groups to examine the details of cooperation projects in the field of water recycling. These working groups can help identify challenges and opportunities in this area and provide a roadmap for long-term cooperation between Iran and Belarus.
