The two leaders reaffirmed their desire to continue standing by each other in the face of all challenges, a press release said.Separately, the Prime Minister Imran Khan met his Italian counterpart Giuseppe Conte and briefed him on the legal, humanitarian and peace and security dimension of the situation in occupied Kashmir. The two leaders discussed a wide range of bilateral, regional and multilateral issues of mutual interest, a PM House statement said.Earlier, Prime Minister Khan attended UN’s Climate Action Summit, and spoke to dozens of heads of states and governments, business leaders, and senior civil society representatives from around the world, who lined up to promise far-reaching steps to beat climate change at the UN’s New York headquarters.“We are raising our ambition and acting in ways to help lower world green house gas numbers,” Khan said at the gathering. Khan referred to the success of his government’s Billion Tree Tsunami project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and said work had begun to plant 10 billion trees across Pakistan in the next four years.Pakistan, he said, had committed $50 million to an independent “eco-system restoration fund” aimed at conserving biodiversity, generating green jobs, alleviating poverty and energizing the country’s youth to become custodians of a green future. “We look forward to support from bilateral and multilateral partners. Pakistan’s contribution to global Green House Gases (GHG) was miniscule—less than 1 per cent—yet, the impact of climate change on Pakistan is far greater,” the Prime Minister said.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/nGbjcSfvnNY
