Prime Minister Imran Khan has thanked China for offering support to step up cooperation in restoration of ecosystem to combat environmental challenges.


In a tweet, he thanked President Xi Jinping for his strong message on World Environment Day 2021 hosted by Pakistan reflecting Islamabad’s commitment to counter environment degradation. He also lauded the Chinese leadership in combatting climate change and biodiversity loss.

on the other hand, the Chinese president, in his congratulatory letter to the World Environment Day events held in Islamabad, had urged the international community to work together with “unprecedented ambition and action to strive for a fair and reasonable system of global environmental governance featuring win-win cooperation and promote the sustainable development of humanity”. Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported that President Xi labelled the events held in Pakistan with the theme of ecosystem restoration of “great significance”. “Earth is humanity’s shared home, and a sound ecosystem is essential for the prosperity of civilizations,” said the Chinese president

He urged humanity to “respect nature, follow its laws, protect it, and endeavor to foster a new relationship where humans and nature can both prosper and live in harmony”.

“Climate change, biodiversity loss, worsening desertification and frequent extreme weather events have all posed severe challenges to human survival and development,” said Xi. The letter by the Chinese President came as Pakistan, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme, hosted the World Environment Day on Saturday.

The day was celebrated across the world through various events and activities, in line with the latest coronavirus regulations.  This year, the theme is “ecosystem restoration” and focuses on resetting our relationship with nature. Pakistan in recognition to its lead role in implementing promising “Ecosystem Restoration Initiatives” was given hosting of World Environment Day where it showcased its success stories in nature conservation.
