Adjust font size:

Myanmar will host the 13th meeting of work committee of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the implementation of environment-conservation-related agreements in the new capital of Nay Pyi Taw later this month, according to the Forestry Department Sunday.

The three-day meeting from July 23 to 25 will be the first of its kind hosted by Myanmar and it will mainly focus on organic- chemical- compound-related Stockholm convention, cross-border transport and piling of dangerous disposed waste convention and convention on climate changes of the United Nations, the sources said.

Meanwhile, a forestry-related ASEAN senior officials' meeting, which was the 12th, was held in the new capital last month, covering ASEAN pharmacists conference, ASEAN forestry products research and development-related experts conference, seminar on international forestry issues and ASEAN senior forestry officials conference.

Myanmar is rich in forest resources with forests covering about 50 percent of its total land area.
