“I wish to recommend the efforts of the organiser of ASIAWATER 2018 as the conference covers not only issues and challenges in water supply and sanitation but also in water resources. I am utterly delighted to see a dedicated track on Water Future Partnership. This is a key area that many countries, Malaysia included, is still lacking. It is clear that sustainable water management is a complex and delicate issue. In this regard, I am grateful that the organiser has seen fit to include discussions on the subject of Partnership for Growth and a Sustainable Water Future.”
