CAIRO – Egyptian Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad said on Monday that Egypt spares no effort to ensure that the COP27 conference, planned to be held in November in Sharm El Sheikh, would be organised in a way that reflects Egypt’s distinguished stance and the nobility of its people.
The minister made the remarks at a meeting with the first technical mission of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat to discuss the COP27 roadmap and logistical and technical preparations taken on that score.
The meeting tackled the design of the conference venue and pavilions planned to host COP27 activities.
The minister issued directives to set up booths for the young people to help them present their ideas, innovations and success stories.
The meeting also dealt with precautionary measures set to be taken to curb the spread of Covid-19, as well as lessons learned from the COP26 conference held last year in Glasgow.
For their part, the mission representatives praised efforts taken by Egypt in preparation for the conference.
They also voiced their confidence in Egypt’s ability to finalise all such preparations as per the pre-set timetable.
