Bangladesh's diplomatic representative to Nepal, Md Shafiqur Rahman, visited the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development this Wednesday. Dr Pema Gyamtsho, the organization's Director General, extended the invitation that brought the ambassador to the Kathmandu-based facility. Rahman advocated for mountain-to-delta connections that promote sustainable development through collaborative scientific approaches. Regional partnerships must address climate change and cross-border environmental threats, the ambassador declared during his official visit.
ICIMOD staff presented their work across the Hindu Kush Himalayan region and detailed specific projects within Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts area. The ambassador expressed gratitude for the organization's efforts toward environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient development initiatives. Rahman announced his country's commitment to supporting expanded ICIMOD operations throughout the region. The intergovernmental center has served eight member nations across the Hindu Kush Himalaya since its 1983 establishment. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan participate in this regional knowledge-sharing platform.
