The Environment Ministry will embark on a technology exchange program
for efficient natural resource management with the Kenyan Government.
A discussion on this initiative was held between Kenyan Environment

Environment Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa at the Ministry Monday.
The discussion aimed at efficient use of natural resources of both
countries. The feasibility of arranging mutual visits for field experts
to conduct practical studies on modern environment friendly technology
was also discussed. Dawood Mohomad commended Sri Lanka's use of forestry
and mineral resources in an efficient manner.

conduct model workshops in school level on solid waste management and
proper waste disposal. Netherlands Ambassador to Sri Lanka Leoni
