ISLAMABAD: MAY 30 (DNA):Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, Dr. Musadik Malik, met with Ms. Coco Ushiyama, Country Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), to discuss climate-aligned collaboration under the WFP–Government of Pakistan five-year cooperation framework.
