INDO BANGLADESH COOPERATION FOR INLAND WATERWAYS DEVELOPMENT: AN ENABLER OF INCLUSIVE AND CLIMATE SMART ECONOMIC GROWTH

The Asia Confluence is launching a series of webinars on the common theme “Asian Confluence Nadi Conversations” to highlight the narrative of a celebration of the common riverine and civilizational heritage of the nations and peoples in the Ganga Brahmaputra Meghna (GBM) Basin. ‘NADI Conversations’ are planned as a web-based, multi-stakeholder conversation series, started by the Asian Confluence under one of its flagship initiatives: NADI, to celebrate rivers as the pulse and life force of our ecology and civilization. It is so important because rivers shape and influence varied aspects of our existence, including those related to agriculture, livelihood, health, culture, tourism, sustainability, trade and connectivity. This series is a follow-up to the very constructive narrative set in the last two NADI conferences held in Shillong and Dhaka with the active participation of senior policymakers from India and Bangladesh respectively in 2016 and 2017.
