ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Asif Ali Zardari has underlined the need for global efforts to address the challenge of climate change by adopting environment-friendly technology, promoting afforestation, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

While talking to the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan/COP 29 President-designate Mukhtar Babayev who along with his delegation called on him at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad on Friday, the president highlighted that global warming and climate change were affecting the glaciers as well as causing water scarcity and tackling these challenges required global support to mitigate their adverse impacts.

Azerbaijan is going to host the 29th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 29) in Baku in November 2024 and the Minister, in his capacity as the President-designate of COP 29, is here to invite the President to the Conference.

Welcoming the Azerbaijan’s minister, the president congratulated Azerbaijan on winning the bid to host COP 29 and expressed the hope that COP 29 would result in setting the New Collective Quantified Goal on Finance that would help developing countries fulfil their climate finance needs.

The president highlighted that Pakistan had planted mangrove forests over hundreds of thousands of hectares that would help protect the environment, besides earning carbon credits for Pakistan.

President Zardari said that Pakistan highly valued its relations with Azerbaijan and wanted to further expand bilateral cooperation in the areas of common interest.

The president called for promoting more interactions, bilateral exchanges and people-to-people contacts to further cement relations between the two brotherly Countries.

Mukhtar Babayev underlined the need for further enhancing bilateral cooperation between Pakistan and Azerbaijan, particularly in the area of tourism and culture.

Azerbaijan’s minister also delivered the invitation to the President to participate in COP 29 in Baku in November 2024.

President Asif Ali Zardari conveyed his best wishes for the successful hosting of COP 29 and expressed the hope that Azerbaijan would play its role to secure the interest of developing Countries in meeting their financing needs for climate adaptation.
