The minister said there will be a declaration of the Asia-to-World Statement by various water institutions in Asia to improve water management in their respective countries since it is a critical and limited human resource.
The statement contains commitments to address water issues, establish collaboration-based water projects with multilateral development banks and global financial institutions, as well as to conduct technical approaches to solve water problems in Asia.
The plenary session of the event will also discuss the development of a smart eco-friendly city in Indonesia’s new capital of Nusantara and the connection between the second AIWW and the ninth World Water Forum, which will be held in Dakar, Senegal, from March 21-26.
AIWW was established to address the urgency of solving water problems, explore potential water project opportunities, strengthen public-private partnerships, and accelerate global water action./.
