He appreciated the environment friendly activities being undertaken by the concerned authorities in Japan and said that such efforts were extremely important to create a peaceful and aesthetically pleasing environment. He stressed that in present time trees were unfortunately vanishing at a very fast speed because of the global destruction of the forests. Therefore there was a dire need to plant more trees to save our Mother Earth and nature. He further stated that it was incumbent on all of us to plant trees and nurture them for our generation and for generations to come which would certainly help the environment and resist climate change.
The Embassy also participated in “Poster Exhibition and Cultural Exchange Program” by setting up posters showing green Pakistan with its exquisite historical description and diverse cultural heritage in Miraikan.
