NEW DELHI: Pakistan will host a SAARC meeting to discuss the impact of militarisation on environment. The meeting, to be held in Islamabad in a couple of months, assumes importance in the backdrop of melting of glaciers at Siachen consequent to heavy troop deployment in the region. Pakistan Minister for Environment, Local Government and Rural Development Syed Wajid Hussain Bukhari told reporters on Wednesday that representatives from all nations of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation would be invited. “Climate change is a serious issue and hitting us fast.” The meeting would investigate the causes and discuss ways to deal with the situation. Mr. Bukhari, who arrived here to participate in the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit, said environment was an issue which concerned all developing countries that were suffering because of the industrialised nations.
