Fields of co-operation
Consider that possibilities to expand co-operation exist
within the areas given below as examples, noting that it is for
potential partners in the participating countries to identify and
develop projects and arrangements of mutual interest and benefit:
Agriculture
Research into new methods and technologies for increasing
the productivity of crop cultivation and animal husbandry; the
application of chemistry to agriculture; the design, construction
and utilization of agricultural machinery; technologies of
irrigation and other agricultural land improvement works;
Energy
New technologies of production, transport and distribution
of energy aimed at improving the use of existing fuels and
sources of hydroenergy, as well as research in the field of new
energy sources, including nuclear, solar and geothermal energy;
New technologies, rational use of resources
Research on new technologies and equipment designed in
particular to reduce energy consumption and to minimize or
eliminate waste;
Transport technology
