I am very honoured to be invited to this important event.
I find it particularly significant that a discourse on the mounting threats of climate change and the
compulsions for cooperation in the field of energy is being hosted by the SAARC Chamber of
commerce and Industry as opposed to these important subjects being left to governments as matters
of public and foreign policy.
