RIYADH:
The newly established Global Water Organisation (GWO) has officially commenced operations from its headquarters in Riyadh, following the signing of its founding charter by eight nations including Pakistan during an inaugural meeting in the Saudi capital.
According to a statement from the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) on Sunday, the launching event “marked a major milestone in fostering international collaboration to address global water challenges.”
Federal Minister for Water Resources Mueen Wattoo represented Pakistan at the invitation of Saudi Arabia Minister of Environment Abdul Rahman Bin Abdul Mohsen Al-Fadley to share the country’s perspective.
“Pakistan along with other founding members signed the GWO charter, formally committing to the organisation’s shared vision of strengthening international cooperation on water scarcity, sustainable resource management, and climate resilience, particularly in arid and water-stressed regions,” it said. According to the Saudi Press Agency, the organisation brings together founding members from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Spain, Greece, Senegal, Pakistan, and Mauritania, united by a shared commitment to sustainable water resource management.
