UNB, Dhaka :
Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu is now in Tarija, the southern city of Bolivia, to attend the Meeting of Ministers on Governance of Natural Resources and Industrialisation of the Group 77.
In cooperation with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), Bolivia and China are jointly organising the two-day meeting beginning on Friday to analyse development challenges in the energy sector and the management of natural resources.
Industries, finance, and energy and mineral resources ministers of the G-77 are participating in the meeting to discuss how natural resources can be explored, utilised and managed properly apart from taking policies for rapid industrialisation.
Industries Minister Amu, who left Dhaka on Wednesday night for Bolivia, is supposed to call upon the G-77 countries to formulate policies and related laws on priority basis for the proper utilisation of natural resources.
According to organisers, the agenda of the meeting are the management of natural resources and sustainable development, income derived from natural resources and redistribution, property rights, international negotiations and arbitrage, structural change and diversification based on natural resources and the impact of
the industrialisation of natural resources on local development.
Argentina, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Haiti, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malaysia, Morocco, Nepal, Senegal, Tanzania, Uruguay, Venezuela and Zambia joined the meeting.
The G-77 bloc plus China includes 133 countries and they met last June in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz to commemorate the group’s 50th anniversary and discuss a post-2015 international development agenda.
