Tokyo to work with Dhaka to ensure efficient water management

Japanese Minister of State for Environment Minoru Kiuchi said Japan will work closely to ensure efficient water management system, materialise the SDG's related targets regarding water resources as well as actualize Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100. The assurance came when Minoru called on the State Minister for Water Resources Zaheed Farooque at the secretariat yesterday morning. He also said that Japan will work for establishing a State-of-Art institute, named 'The Bengal Delta International Hydraulic Training and Research Institute' in Bangladesh.

Zaheed Faruque informed his Japanese counterpart about the various initiatives taken by the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR). “Bangladesh has been working relentlessly to address the changing issues of global warming and its subsequent impacts,” he added. Zaheed further said, “Since Bangladesh is riverine country and situated to the downstream of the largest deltaic plain meeting the Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, so the effect of climate change would be huge to us and we've already experienced some hazards.”

“To deal with the challenges, the country has taken a long-term plan termed as Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 and to create an expert pool for this plan, we are going to establish an international standard institute.”

 Mentioning Japan as a proven partner in progress for Bangladesh and to its people, Farooque sought support from Japan for the development of water resources in Bangladesh.
