Earlier in the day, YAB Dato’ Seri Saarani bin Mohamad chaired the 6th Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Sub-Regional Green Cooperation Council meeting at Casuarina @ Meru, Ipoh. “In addition to the sustainable management of natural resources that include forests, water, and wildlife, this forum can strengthen cooperation in the management and restoration of ecosystems in border areas. This is because these three countries are in the same area in terms of culture and way of working, therefore sustainable management needs to be done through cooperation,” the Menteri Besar remarked.
