CAIRO - August 2018: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi's sponsorship of the Fourteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD/COP 14) due to be held in Egypt's Sharm el Sheikh marks an important historical stage in view of the political leadership's support for environmental issues, the environment minister said.

Yasmine Fouad made the remark on Monday during a press conference on launching the media campaign of the COP 14 which is slated for November 17 - 29, 2018.


She added that Egypt is looking forward to launching an international initiative for natural solutions on the fringe of the conference.

The overture is meant to link biodiversity with climate change and means of realizing sustainable development.
