Sagarmatha Sambaad is for solving problems of planet and its people: PM Oli

Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stated that the government is organizing the ‘Sagarmatha Sambaad (Dialogue)’ to seek solutions to common problems related to the future of humanity and the Earth. “Let us ensure the future of the planet and the humanity; for this purpose, we will host the Sagarmatha Sambaad in Kathmandu from May 16 to 18,” PM Oli said in a video message today in the context of the Sagarmatha Dialogue.

The Prime Minister has expressed concern over the adverse situations arising from climate change and the continued growing pollution of our surrounding environment, mentioning that a dialogue is being organized to convey the message that everyone must be aware to prevent the deteriorating environment of the country from worsening further and to ensure its preservation. “Our activities should not spoil the Earth’s environment. Now let us clean up the environment that has been damaged by our activities. And, may our future generations live in a clean, safe and beautiful environment tomorrow,’ the Prime Minister stated in the video message. He mentioned that the Sagarmatha Sambaad plays a crucial role in understanding the relationship between the mountains and the sea, contributing to environmental issues of the mountains, from the formation of rivers to cooling the environment, and that not understanding it properly or ignoring it is detrimental to humanity. He emphasized that since environmental conservation is a global shared problem, a collective effort from the world’s inhabitants is essential for its solution. “It is essential to work on controlling carbon emissions and other elements that harm the environment, and also to advance efforts to protect the environment. For this, people of the world, let us gather at one place to discuss, identify the problems, and strive to find solutions to them from a single forum,” the Prime Minister stated in his message.
