Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun underscored the need for working together to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“The achievement of SDGs will be good for the whole world. The 7, 9 and 12 number of the SDG is directly involved with industrialization,” he said.

Humayun said environment-friendly industrialization, expansion of green energy, patronizing industrial innovation and industrialization supported infrastructure have been emphasised in the SDGs.
Asia Pacific Regional Director for the United Nation Economic and Society Commission Dr Stefanos Fotiou moderated the session while Senior Energy Economist of the Indonesian Asian Economic Research Institute Dr Venkatachalam Anbumozhi, Director of the Japan based UN Regional Development Center Kazushige Endo and Clean Technology Unit Director of Thailand Industries Ministry Kitiphan Taparugssanagorn delivered three key note speeches at the session.
