The Ministerial Conference is set to endorse a Regional Implementation Plan of the new post-2015 framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). This will form a key element of the initial global effort to implement the new framework. Singh said the decision demonstrated India's strong commitment and leadership in the area of DRR in the Asia region.
"One of the biggest challenges we are facing is promoting risk-sensitive development and reduction of impacts of disasters to protect the development gains," said Singh. He requested participating countries to begin dialogue so that the Asian regional implementation plan for the post-2015 DRR framework can be agreed.
In hosting the conference, Singh said India is looking forward to showcasing its measures to mainstream DRR in development policies at all levels. On behalf of the Government of India, he pledged full support to the post-2015 Framework, its goals and priorities. He said India is committed to work with countries in the region and beyond in building resilient nations and communities, through capacity building and training in association with UN Office for DRR.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Margareta Wahlstrom congratulated India's decision to host the conference. She said that with India's strong support and leadership, the region can take a leap in implementing the post-2015 framework for DRR.
