Kathmandu : Chief advisor to the interim government of Bhutan Lyonpo Tshering Wangchuk has said common efforts were imperative to fight the impact of climate change.
Addressing the fourth BIMSTEC summit kicked off here Thursday, Wangchuk said as the climate change is the common problem of this region, common efforts were essential to cope up with it.
He reminded that Bhutan has given top priority to environment conservation and more than 51 percent of its geography was covered with forest. “It is difficult to achieve common objective with one sided efforts, so collective endeavour is required”, he said underscoring regional peace, stability and development.
According to him, expansion of connectivity would help bolster the relations in the people’s level in the region. Control of terrorism is equally important to ensure peace and stability, which too needs collective endeavour.
As Wangchuk pointed out common resolution was essential for elimination of poverty with the expansion of trade among the member states. RSS
