KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghan and Uzbek officials have discussed the need for strengthening the banks of Amu River, an official said on Saturday.
Afghanistan's team was headed by Agriculture Minister Maulvi Attaullah Omari and Uzbekistan's delegation was led by Water Management Minister Shavkat Khamraev Rakhimovich.
In a statement, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) announced the two sides in Balkh province talked on issues such as beefing up Amu River banks, water scarcity and fighting climate change.
They also conferred on water-related issues, as flooding in Amu River destroys thousands of hectares of agricultural land and residential houses both in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan every year.
Attaullah Omari and the Uzbek delegation also visited the damaged banks of the river in Balkh and emphasised on preventing their further destruction.
