David Songulashvili Summes up His Visit to the Republic of Kenya

“The seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly, where I had the opportunity to deliver remarks, is an important platform for countries to share their achievements and experiences in the environmental field. The key message, which is crucial to us and which we voiced from this tribune, is that reforms cannot be implemented and environmental goals cannot be achieved without peace. Preserving peace requires constant effort. Only peace ensures the stable development of each country and the achievement of its goals,” stated the Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr David Songulashvili, while summarising his visit to the Republic of Kenya.

Minister Songulashvili delivered remarks at the seventh session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) in Nairobi, Kenya.
