\"\"Riyadh \/ Astana : Monitoring Desk – President of the Republic of Kazakhstan,\u00a0 Kassym-Jomart Tokayev outlined key measures to tackle water security challenges and announced plans to hold a regional climate conference in 2026 at the One Water Summit in Riyadh on Dec.3.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The President expressed his gratitude to France, Saudi Arabia and the World Bank Group for their assistance in organizing this event. He also thanked the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud for hosting this joint event in Riyadh.<\/h5>\n
Addressing the summit participants, Tokayev noted that water security is a cornerstone of sustainable development, economic progress and environmental preservation. He said that more than 2 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water, and more than 4 billion experience severe water scarcity.<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThese tough realities call for a unified global response to ensure a sustainable future for all and taking this opportunity I would like to express my sincere appreciation to His Royal Highness for the plan he has just announced to help all those regions and countries that face the problems I have mentioned right now.<\/h5>\n
Kazakhstan, as a large landlocked country, understands the true value of water. We have learned the hard way that is not an infinite resource hence to achieve lasting progress we must treat water as a precious and vital resource,\u201d he said.<\/h5>\n
Tokayev called for joint measures aimed at strengthening water security, including universal access, resource protection, disaster resilience and international cooperation.<\/h5>\n
\n
\u201cEnsuring universal access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation are fundamental human rights. Everyone, especially vulnerable and remote communities must have access to safe water services. Target investments in climate resilient water infrastructure can transform entire regions by ensuring reliable access to clean water and fostering sustainable growth. Kazakhstan\u2019s commitment to this goal is further demonstrated by our joining the Freshwater Challenge, a global initiative focused on universal access to clean water for all,\u201d Tokayev said.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
