"We could not do much on climate change due to the COVID 19 pandemic situation. However we are looking at a green economy. Many countries look to this concept today and we also cannot do without a green economy," he said.
"We also expect the head of Commonwealth King Charles to participate in COP 27 summit so that he could contribute towards the issue pertaining to climate change effects. He recalled that commonwealth has passed a resolution on climate change in the recent years. (Yohan Perera)
