Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury on June 25 said Bangladesh and Bhutan will strengthen cooperation on environment and energy.
“Our bilateral cooperation can serve as a model for regional and global partnerships. By enhancing collaboration, we can overcome obstacles and create a brighter and greener tomorrow for our nations and the world as well,” he said.
The environment minister made the remarks at a bilateral meeting with Bhutan Minister for Energy and Natural Resources Gem Tshering at his office in Thimphu, Bhutan, according to a message received here.
Speaking at the meeting, he said this is the time to take decisive actions that will safeguard natural resources of both countries for future generations.
As the outgoing chairman of the South Asia Cooperative Environment Program (SACEP), Saber Chowdhury congratulated SACEP's new chairman Gem Tshering, the energy and natural resources minister of Bhutan.
He also invited Gem Tshering to join a tri-party meeting of environment ministers of Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan to be held in Dhaka in July next.
