New Delhi, May 24: Going by Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, it’s Hyderabad and not the national capital which has more world class facilities.
Announcing that India would be hosting the eleventh Conference of the Parties (CoP-11) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Ramesh said, “Hyderabad and not New Delhi has more of world class facilities to organise the show, scheduled from October 1-19, 2012.” He clarified that the choice has nothing to do with his representation of the State in the Rajya Sabha.
He was addressing the Stakeholders’ Consultation on the Convention on Biological Diversity on Monday. Stressing on certain major themes that need to be worked upon prior to the event, he pointed to the need for partnership with the corporate houses and felt water management and promotion of marine biodiversity can be major areas of cooperation.
