Green meeting focuses on protection of resources

Protecting ecosystems and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits of genetic resources may be key themes in cooperation between China and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation countries in biodiversity conservation.

The consensus was reached during a workshop on implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity, hosted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and attended by experts from China, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Three themes proposed by Chinese officials sparked particular interest.
