PM’s Coordinator on Climate Change & Environmental Coordination met with Australian High Commissioner H.E Neil Hawkins today at her office. The both sides discussed range of bilateral issues of mutual interest including COP29, water security, forest fires, climate resilience community, GLOFIII and Climate Change Authority.
The both sides agreed to closely collaborate on water security and agriculture. Australian side would provide technical assistance to Pakistan for water security management. PM’S Coordinator underscored, water security is Pakistan’s most critical development challenge and sustainable management of water is indispensable for sustainable development.
Keeping the significance of water in view, she is working on GLOFIII project in Pakistan which will at one hand reduce the risks of floods in northern areas while on the other hand provide huge reservoirs of water to be used by water scarce districts, she added.
