I would like to congratulate the Government of India
And India as a country in offering to host the World Environment Day
this year on the 5th of June 2018.
The occasion of the World Environment Summit
is an important one because the topic this year is plastics,
recycling and solid waster management.
The world is choking on plastics and the
and the recent deaths of animals both in India and Whales
and dolphins around the world demonstrate
that the world has saturated oceans
and our land with plastic waste.
How India and other countries around the world
will deal with this problem is the topic
of World Environment Day this year.
So, again thanks go to the Indian Government.
We strongly encourage the Indian Industry
to participate in this.
We strongly recommend that other countries
come to India for this occasion
and bring innovation, technology and models
on how to deal effectively with solid
and especially plastic waste.
And we hope that it will not just be an event
and a conference where people exchange opinions.
But will also be an occasion where action plans,
measures and programmes are put in place
to deal with this terrible problem that is suffocating the world.
Thank you very much.
