Bangkok (VNA) – Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has called on everyone to join hands in conserving water resources on the occasion of World Water Day (March 22).
Accordingly, the Thai government aligns its water policies with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 which includes clean water and sanitation issues to ensure adequate access to clean water while addressing challenges posed by urbanisation and climate change.
Thailand’s water management strategy focuses on conservation, restoration, and flood and drought prevention, promoting responsible water use, waste management, and community participation in protecting local water sources.
PM Paetongtarn also highlighted the need for proper waste disposal to prevent pollution. Internationally, Thailand actively engages in regional and global water cooperation, working with the international community to tackle water crises and environmental challenges. The government is committed to fostering unity and collaboration as key solutions to water security issues.
In the lead-up to World Water Day 2025, the PM urged Thai citizens, businesses, and organisations to contribute to water conservation efforts and adapt to global water challenges.
Emphasising the role of sustainable water management in securing the country’s future water supply, she reiterated that every individual has a responsibility to ensure sustainability and encouraged practical steps toward responsible water consumption and environmental protection./.
