 The Iraqi-Chinese agreement's sewage projects will cost more than one trillion dinars, according to Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani, who also noted that the current government does not have any lagging projects. 

 The Iraqi News Agency (INA) reporter was present at the ceremony to lay the foundation stone for the strategic sewage project in Baghdad’s Al-Wahda district. The prime minister stated, "The sewage project of the  Al-Wahda district has been long awaited since 2012, as the district lacked services and our people suffered greatly from the services file, especially in Baghdad and its outskirts," adding that "the cost of sewage projects within the Iraqi-Chinese agreement is more than one trillion dinars."

Noting that "sewage networks, drinking water, roads, schools, and electricity are basic infrastructure and elements of development, and that the government's work in these projects has become a reality touched by citizens, and there is no lagging project in its program," he continued, "companies have embarked on 4 sites on the outskirts of Baghdad to implement these projects."
 
  "Services are one of the pillars of stability and a demand for our people, and there are areas of the periphery that need a large part of the work, and these projects need costs and control," he said, adding that "the implementation of these projects and the entry of investors increase the added value of the national economy."

He went on, highlighting "the importance of high specifications in the work," saying, "We expect the company, which was chosen according to a mechanism based on its biography and business, to start all components of the sewage project in the unit and within 24 working hours."  
 
He called on "parliament to support these efforts in all provinces that lack most service projects," emphasizing that "this path was taken by the government for the sake of services." 
 
 In order to move toward a better reality, he urged the populace "to cooperate with the executing companies and resident engineers for service projects and to endure some inconveniences from excavations and dust."
