Prime Minister Imran Khan appreciated the tree plantation initiative announced by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying that the crown prince’s vision is closely matching with his own government.
In a letter written to the crown prince and shared on Twitter, the prime minister shared his happiness over the initiative, “aimed at protecting nature and the planet” and offered Pakistan’s help in this regard.
Prime Minister Imran said in his tweet “Green Saudi Arabia” and “Green Middle East” initiatives were similar to the PTI government’s own “Clean and Green Pakistan” and “10 Billion Tree Tsunami” (TBTT) programs.
The two initiatives include the plantation of 10 billion trees in Saudi Arabia and 50bn in the greater Middle East, the expansion of protected areas to more than 30 percent, the protection of marine and coastal environments, and the generation of 50pc of Saudi Arabia’s energy from renewable sources, were hailed as “highly commendable” in the letter.
