Lanka-Singapore to increase environmental cooperation

Environment and Water Resource Ministry of Singapore has extended its cooperation to Sri Lanka to share their expertise in solving environment problems rising parallel to development activities. This was revealed during a special discussion held between the Environment Minister Anura Priyadarshana Yapa and Singaporean Environment and Water Resource Minister Vivian Balakrishnan recently.

"Singapore has a very effective systems for solid waste management and clean air which is an example for Sri Lanka and in fact three percent of Singapore's electricity power generated comes from using solid waste," Minister Yapa told the Sunday Observer.

Minister said if such effective results can be obtained by simply using waste it will be ideal to understand the technology behind.

Minister Yapa emphasised that the cost-effectiveness and suitability of technology used in developed countries must be studied before adopting them in Sri Lanka.

It was also noted that more eco-friendly concepts and strategies are used when building apartments in Singapore.

"In addition they pay great attention to bring greenery to these housing projects," he said.

Minister Yapa met Minister Balakrishnan during his recent tour to Singapore to attend the International Gem and Jewellery Exhibition 2011 in Singapore.
