Irrigation Min. - Egypt Succeeded in Putting Water Issue in Heart of Climate Action

Minister of Irrigation Hani Suweilam said that Egypt succeeded in putting the water issue in the heart of the climate action via launching an initiative on adaptation in the water sector.

He asserted that Egypt exerts strenuous efforts as one of the countries affected by the impact of climate change.

This came during Suweilam's meeting with Tajik Ambassador to Egypt Zarobiddin Kosimi and Dutch Ambassador to Egypt Han-Maurits Schaapveld within the framework of preparing for the participation by a high-level Egyptian delegation in the UN Conference on the "Midterm Comprehensive Review of the Implementation of the Objectives of the International Decade for Action" due in March.
