“Withdrawing from the fund in 2016 deprived us of the opportunity to address issues related to climate and water resources in our favor. Our country, being mountainous, is located at the sources of water in Central Asia, and we should take advantage of the opportunities that this organization provides,” she added.

“At the moment, I am not ready to provide an answer; we will prepare a report later,” he noted.
