If you are not present in multilateral meetings, you are absent from the benefits that come with it,\u201d Mr Sesinyi said.<\/p>\n<p>The High Commissioner said the UNEA-6 assembly, which focuses on the environment and climate change, has many benefits such as technical and financial assistance and also human resource building capacities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are issues that require you to be present if you are going to be on board and benefit as a country. As you know, drought and desertification have caused havoc in our country, and if you want to be counted and if you want your voice to be heard, you have to be present at these meetings at the highest level possible,\u201d added Mr Sesinyi.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that external travels by President Masisi were initiatives by experts, and other people on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are people who say Mr President the issues of huge national interest are here, please travel and be present for the country. That is not only for awareness but when we talk of investment assistance, and capacity building, he has to be there as the salesperson,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sesinyi said Botswana was in a good position in terms of environmental awareness and had built capacity to be self-sufficient in areas such as waste disposal hence the need to be part of multilateralism.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sesinyi said out of 20 resolutions and three decisions received by the Open Ended Permanent Representative Committee, Botswana was particularly interested in about 12 resolutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
