JAKARTA - President of the World Water Council (WWC) Lo pathic Fauchon invited all countries to attend the 10th World Water Forum forum in Bali, Indonesia, in May 2024, to make it a momentum to increase cooperation for global water management.
"We need great political will between countries to work together. For this reason, the purpose of holding a special international forum to discuss water, such as the World Water Forum. Water problems must be one of the top priorities for all countries in the world today", Lo fenc Fauchon said in Jakarta, Wednesday, February 15.
