The Minister said that the ministry received an e-mail announcing the entry of the Permanent Representative of Iraq to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Director General of the General Authority for Aerial Meteorology and Seismic Surveillance (TASI), the agency of Mr. Thaer Hussein Al Gharawi, who was nominated to compete for the site in June 2017.
