"The National Institute of Environmental Human Resources Development (EHRD) will provide 12 Iranian officials working in the environment field with a specialized course on environment technology for eight days from Thursday,” an EHRD official said.
The training program has been arranged to introduce the country’s environment policies and high-level environment industry and activate exchanges between Iranian officials and South Korean businesses, the official said.
The group includes working-level officials from Iran’s environment ministry and a state-run water and sewage corporation, he added.
In the program, the officials will hold a business forum with six leading South Korean environmental companies, including Daelim, Doosan Heavy Industries and SK E&C, at a Seoul hotel on Monday.
The group will visit an eco-friendly energy town in Hongcheon, 102 kilometers northeast of Seoul, on Tuesday.
The creation of such towns is one of South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s key tasks to develop a new energy industry.
They will also visit a rain city in Suwon, south of Seoul, the following day, which has raised its water self-sufficiency ratio by making use of rainwater.
The institute will invite another group of Iranian government officials in September to provide them with a course on the air, waste and wetland ecosystem, the official said.
