Ebtekar also added that the two countries can expand cooperation in preserving wetlands such as Hamoun (shared between Iran and Afghanistan) or Lake Urmia.
She noted another area for cooperation as measuring and monitoring air, water and soil quality, saying Iran has so far implemented many projects in this regard such as installing online monitoring cameras, and establishing and improving air pollution monitoring stations.
