The delegation was briefed on Pakistan’s evolving water-security situation and the growing implications of water scarcity for agricultural productivity and national food security amid climate change and rapid population growth. NDMA also presented its proposed Monsoon and Glacial Basin concepts as potential pathways for improving water management and strengthening the resilience of the country’s food systems.

The delegation was apprised of NEOC’s advanced technologies and integrated platforms for multi-hazard monitoring, weather forecasting, and the timely dissemination of early warnings and advisories. The briefing also highlighted NDMA’s proactive disaster risk-management framework and its role in coordinating preparedness and emergency response nationwide.

The two sides also discussed proposed mock drills at Engro Fertilizers’ plants to test response protocols, strengthen on-ground emergency preparedness, and enhance coordination among the company, local authorities, and NDMA during emergencies.
